Both parties need to move to the middle and govern for Christ sake. Both left and right fringe politicans are killing us. Nothing of any consequence ever gets done.. Its time to stop polling and get to work form the middle.

What a joke. The Democrats are in the middle. The Republicans are to the right of right. The Republicans need to screw their heads on right and come to the middle and the Democrats just need to grow a pair.

The Dems have moved to the middle! The Republicans are the ones that keep moving further & further to the right! Didn't you hear about the GOP purity test?

Oh, please. Don't believe the hype - there is hardly ANY Left remaining in America. Just because Republican punditry has been branding centrism as leftist for the past thirty years doesn't make it so.

pelosi is so far left she can't see anything to her right. So are most of the house. Thats why the senate version won't pass. The left won't vote for it because its to small. Big government needs to get smaller.

The public option is a moderate, centrist compromise. If the Dems were so far left, they would be pushing for single payer. You really need to take a political compass test so that you realize how far right to the right you really are.

Most of our politicians are on the center/right or right...Not many lefties:
