The Muddling Middle

The Seattle Times: Opinion: Shooting holes in the two-party wall: ". . .Welcome to American politics where the adults are played by the two major parties and fervent supporters.

The role of the naïve kid is played by, well, everybody else who does not fit into the rigid lines drawn by the Democrats and Republicans.

We folks in the middle prefer to choose from a political buffet. A little bit of environmentalism, a dash of tax relief, a side of civil rights and a dessert of accountability smothered with liberty sauce. (Can anybody tell me what happened to the menu item limiting the size of government?) . . ."
