Debunking Centrism

David Sirota takes on Centrism.

My biggest personal beef with "Centrism" is that it tries to push people to give up their passionate and strongly held beliefs in the name of compromise. And as Sirota notes...compromise can sometimes conveniently be a money maker for guys like Joe Lieberman and Evan Bayh.

Either you have strongly held principles or you don't. Some centrists certainly do have them...and I'm not attempting to disparage that. But you don't see those on the Left asking the centrists to give those principles up in the name of compromise.

The opposite is rarely true nowadays.
