Point being, I believe having a conservative, yet flexible at appropriate times, approach to economics with a liberal, yet justified, sense of civil rights/liberties is proper. Being on one side means you're basically staying on your side of the fence and you don't give a damn about the other side, which when being a leader of any kind sets you up for disaster. I think being centralist makes more decisive sense since one relies more on research and information than emotion or tradition.
