“Barack Obama is a decent Man You Don’t Have To Be Afraid Of” .. John McCain, Oct 10, 2008. We already heard it.

What the author doesn’t understand is that the Republican party has marched Leftward for 100 years. The Republicans of 100 years ago would not approve of Medicare, welfare, or even mortgage refinancing, much less a central bank. All of this has been a creation of the left. Now it is accepted, so the guys on the right of 100 years ago are made to sound like fruitcakes because they do not subscribe to the “conventional wisdom”.

The last election proved that Republicans cannot win by being “Democrats Light”. They will win by offering new and better ideas. And guys like Beck are offering new ideas. Too bad the author thinks it will cost us the Republican party.
