You've heard of No Labels.
A coalition of Democrats, Republicans and independents came together at Columbia University on Monday to launch a group aimed at taming the nation's hyperpartisan politics.
No Labels is not a third party, its leaders said, but rather a home for Americans turned off by a deepening divide between Democrats and Republicans, conservatives and liberals.
...The group hopes to build a network of citizen activists and establish offices in all 435 congressional districts. Beginning in January, members plan to police the new Congress, calling out lawmakers who they think are too partisan and speaking up for those who cross party lines to find solutions.
It will form a political action committee to help defend moderate candidates of both parties against attack from the far right and the far left, said John Avlon, a founding member and one-time speechwriter for former New York mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani (R).
"There's this idea that somehow walking in lock step with a party is courageous," Avlon said. "I think it's conformity. . . . That's the opposite of courageous. It's cowardly."
The group has raised about $1 million from seed donations, the founders said, with most organizers working as volunteers.
..."The country is not governable right now," [Mitch Dworkin, a Dallas-based political consultant,] said. "It's a bunch of little brats and children who throw tantrums if they don't get everything they want."
In response to the No Labels coalition, a new group has formed - No No Labels.
Dworkin says the country is not governable, because of the obsession with labels.
No No Labels points out that there will be utter chaos, death, and destruction if we follow the No Label philosophy.
Here's what No No Labels is about:
No No Labels has arrived to champion labels and mock nolabels.org We applaud divisiveness, deplore spinelessness and drink before noon.
No No Labels reveals that No Labels is hazardous to your health and well-being. No Labels is evil.
Example:
Toothpaste or hemmoroid cream? without a label, you'll never know. Nolabels.org wants to make you sick.
Example:
Eye drops or superglue? Nolabels.org wants you blind.
Example:
Baby aspirin or valium? No worries! mix and match! Nolabels.org wants to poison your family!
We really need labels.
Nolabels.org claims putting labels aside is what's best for America.
WRONG!
Labels aren't the problem.
Tantrum-throwing brats are the problem.

You've effectively confused the issue - which I suspect is your goal. To ridicule and disparage. I heard Limbaugh doing the same thing - mainly because Limbaugh is not a fan of the organizing founder GOP political advisor Mark McKinnon - thinks he's too centrist. This year McKinnon became a founding leader of No Labels, a non-profit citizens movement of Republicans, Democrats and Independents whose mission is to address the politics of problem solving. McKinnon worked for President George W. Bush and Senator John McCain, and many others.
I'm not confusing the issue. Lighten up, buddy.
I'm not confused but the No Labels group is. They claim to have representation from the Republican side. There isn't any, except for a few who work or have worked for the Republican side.
Love the idea that John Avlon is also a co-founder. As the author of "Wingnuts", his book takes aim at the Right while merely offering a scoff at the far-left. What do you expect from a biased plagiarist, anyway?
They're all in it for the money, anyway. And the Progressive covert PAC they're forming is all the proof needed.
