EDIT: Wikipedia says: "He is the co-author of the New York Times bestseller The Party's Over: How the Extreme Right Hijacked the GOP and I Became a Democrat." So basically an 'enlightened centrist.' Better than before, I guess.
Imagine thinking being a centrist is a bad thing. God forbid everyone's views don't align with yours.

America has two parties. A right-wing party and a far-right wing party.

If you don't like being criticized for your political position, keep it hidden and don't get butthurt when people criticize someone else's.
Neither you nor he are granted a special dispensation to be free from criticism, sorry.
