10. This is the problem with playing to the center
The liberal arm of the Democratic party has been hushed into silence because we are told we need the center to win. Thus the Democratic party has set about "Playing" to the center. That is we are told we will get our liberal agenda once we win. This will not happen.

What does happen is that as we move towards the right instead of liberal politicians "Playing" to the center we get real center or even right wing politicians. They have no intention of ever going to the left. Thus we get Lieberman's who truly have little in common with those voting for him. Its only going to get worse unless we apply the breaks and turn this bus around.
