We don't need them to appear centris ... we need them to be centrist.

McCain is centrist while Obama is playing the role to get elected. Obama is as far left as you can get for an elected official. The man's a freakin socialist.

If Obama is elected history will record this election as the moment in time when America ceased to be great.

We need a centrist party for America. Places where people like Lieberman and McCain and, yes, even Obama and Bill Clinton, can get together for sensible policy. The main barriers to this is that the present two-major-party structure has become so entrenched into our primary election system that it's tough to establish primaries (and, later, debates) for third-party and fourth-party candidates.

Furthermore, the new party needs a good name. Something like "Liberty" or "Freedom" or "Conservative Progressive", or perhaps just "American" or "Cooperativist" or "Moderates".
