5. If one makes paradoxical and contradicting votes on issues, it covers all the bases
You can say you voted for the Iraq war because we need to end the war.

You can say you want to give Bush a free pass to invade Iran because we shouldn't invade Iran.

You can say we shouldn't have a flag burning amendment to the Constitution because you want to make it a federal crime.

You can say you are against outsourcing while you say it's just something we have to accept.

Put on the 1990's retread Fleetwood Mac song "Don't Stop Thinking About Tomorrow".

Think of the Clinton years with NAFTA, the Telecommunications Act, the Defense Of Marriage Act, Don't Ask-Don't Tell, the 8 years of bombing Iraq's infrastructure, China MFN status, the sex scandals, the huge losses in 1994 paving the way for Gingrich's Contract On America, the dot com bust.... ah, sweet memories that we want to continue with dynastic joy...

We can have triangulated "centrism" combined with faux nostalgia. Just what America needs right now.

:crazy:
