Why Do Politicians Go Too Far Left or Too Far Right?

Where are the politicians for the middle classes?  To me it seems like the Politicians are always too polar.  Either they are liberal (Left) which is bad or they are too Conservative (Right) which is bad.

McCain wasn’t beat by Obama, McCain was beat my McCain and his bad debating style, choice for a vice president, and his policies that leaned too far to the right, these policies don’t represent the majority of the average American wants and needs…  Why do I make this claim?  Because I’m primarily a moderate (although I have to admit, I do like the blue dog democrats), but I drank the Obama kool-aid and voted for him. 

Now I realize that “Change” doesn’t mean a positive change for us middle class folk.  Now I understand that Change means that we aren’t going to be the great country we use to be, instead Change may mean we are no longer going to be a superpower in the world order.  It means that America may now be on the descent in the world order. 

The Democrats’ “Change” means going back to party policies that have failed in the past and forcing them on the American citizens.  “Change” means destroying any business advantage that American might have had.  Yes, Change isn’t always for the best, sometimes Change means “opps we messed up”.

And the Republican Party wasn’t beat by the democrats, they were beat again by their own choices that were to far to the right.

When the parties choose policies that are either too far left or right, they no longer represent the middle classes (or over 80% of Americans)!  Yes, November should be a landslide for the Republican with them gaining control of the government…  I just hope they don’t go too far to the right, as the democrats have gone too far to the left.

Am I being to pessimistic?  Perhaps so, and I have to say, I’m sorry for going so political today, but I think that the government should represent the people and their opinions.  If they don’t then how can we call our system a democracy?  And this should be the way for both political parties!
