Suppose, hypothetically that a group of people who had not brought articles of impeachment against the President and were uninterested in waiting until 2008 believed "in principle" that violently overthrowing the government would be a good idea. I personally would consider this view to be so far to the left as to be unworthy of anything resembling serious consideration. But that's just me, millions of miles from the political "center". The people advocating the establishment of a liberal tyranny in place of our current conservative representative constitutional republic are the true centrists here.
I can't even imagine what it would be like to live in that reality.
