Right vs. Left and Moderate "bipartisans"

A pendulum swings both ways and what we don't need in democracy is for the pendulum to swing to far one way or the other. Yet, living in the middle is not where most people want to live. Define "bipartisan" as that person who is liberal and conservative but agrees with whatever position is most like ones own. No one likes a "moderate" who goes against their views.

People say they hate Bush because he sees the world in "black" and "white". I believe the reality is that virtually everyone sees things in "black" and "white". It's the definitions that create "moderations".
