where are the centrist representatives in our government?

where are the representatives(democrat and republican) who actually represent the people. Not just the far left and the far right. The closest I see are a few independents, blue dog democrats and moderate republicans. Why are we forced to pick the lesser evil instead of good leaders at each election?

    They do not get the Press Coverage cause they don't sell ads in the media, in other words they make common sense and not noise.

    They are out there, but they tend to get lost in the loud hyperbole of the extremes. You are not forced to vote for anything. There are usually multiple candidates for any position, but many people chose to identify themselves with a party then toe that party line. This creates the impression within the party leadership that they do anything they want and still maintain their base. As long as we have the two party system as the dominant political front nothing is going to change.

    only the "Party" (Democrat or Republican) of choice and its' agenda...
