No Country for Non-Extremists: Leftist 20 Percenters Raise a Ruckus About Alleged "Moderate" democrat Bob Kerrey Running for Senate. Can't Have That!

It's the latest example of how our two pathetic political parties have little place in their ranks for much of anyone except for devout leftists and staunch right-wingers: democrat party partisan Bob Kerrey of Nebraska (pictured above) wants to run for his old U.S. Senate seat, and leftist 20 percenters are up in arms over that intolerable situation! (Link to full story at bottom).

I recall Kerrey from his prior Senate days in the 1990s, and I never really considered him much of a "centrist." He was distinctly to the left, but I suppose you could toss the amorphous term "moderate" Kerrey's way since he really wasn't a leftist 20 percenter (i.e. that little minority swath of the population that controls the democrat party and describes itself as proudly "liberal" or "progressive"), either.

Regardless, much like the base of the gop-er party shits all over any gop-er not considered sufficiently and rigidly "conservative," the leftist 20 percenters do not at all like the notion of "moderate" Kerrey running for Senate -- even if he gives the democrat party the best chance of retaining that seat in the land of corn, fish fries, bug eaters and polkas.

Just check out this blast from creepy leftist 20 percenter slimeball and frequent "mainstream" media political pundit Markos "Anton Chigurh" Moulitsas (pictured immediately above) from his leftist propaganda website, DailyKos.com: "I hope he [Kerrey] gets carpet bombed . . . And if it turns out he needs [our] help, then too bad. Fuck him!" Nothing says "big tent" political party quite like that!

Politico.com likewise reports that "in the liberal blogosphere . . . Kerrey's comeback bid was lambasted [this week] as the return of yet another mushy moderate. The online left says it won't lift a finger for him -- and in some cases, it's even rooting against Kerrey." That big tent just keeps 'a growin'!

Yep, this is the democrat party and republic partisan party of 2012: We're stuck with them, and only them, as a choice, and yet they've both evolved so far to the left and right that they represent only minority slivers of the American population anymore. In case you wonder why I strike out both their names on the box at the top of this blog -- there you have it.
