good morning, carl. caller: mr. cowan, i want to make two points and point out how terribly wrong you are. first off, you don't seem to understand that -- you don't seem to understand the reality of where we are today and that is it doesn't matter about being in the middle. they've demonized even moderate democrats. they're all liberal. like all the blue dogs, they weren't liberal. republicans convinced the public, blue dogs are not. come time to vote, you're liberal. you got to go. second point i want to make is that over 30 years we have as democrats, especially with bill clinton and stuff -- i like clinton, but the democrats have moved to the center and they've been paying the cost. we had 30 years basically of a conservative economic policy. they had dick stockton on "60 minutes" a week or so ago. what he said, over the past 30 years most of america's wealth has shifted primarily to the very top. host: ok. let's take that point. guest: so, carl, i just -- i don't agree that it doesn't matter if you're in the cen
