Delaware Liberal

Center-Right?

Delaware Politics now has a tag line calling itself “Delaware’s Center-Right Voice.”

Stop laughing, they are right about the right part, meaning that they are wrong, er ah, conservative.  But the “center” part?    That is what we call an attempt at branding.   But there is nothing “center” about the politics of our friends on the right.   They hate the center.   Indeed, whenever a fellow Republican attempts to appeal to the center, or holds centrist policies, they blacklist him or her.   Burris et al will try to deny it, but if it wasn’t true, then the Club for Growth or the term “RINO” would not exist.   Further, there is nothing “centrist” about social conservatism.

Further, arguing that conservatives lost the election because they were not conservative enough or true to their principles, and then arguing that you are the “center-right” voice of Delaware, is mutually exclusive.

So nice try at branding.  But that is all it is.
