    I Don't Want A Moderate

    There will be eight years of intentional damage to the country to clean up and put to right. This will not be a time for mealy-mouthed pandering. Telling the truth and repairing the damage is going to involve hurting some feelings and putting some people in prison.

    If things were slightly askew, a moderate might be up to the job,but I'm afraid that incremental half-measures aren't going to get the job done. As Jim Hightower says, there ain't nothin' in the middle of the road but yellow stripes and dead armadillos.
