"They still are clinging on to the idea that McCain lost because he wasn't conservative enough."
Yup. That's the true believer for you.
By the way, here are some comments recently made by Bill Maher, which I transcribed from a video (
here):
"People talk a lot about a third political party in America. We don't need a third party; we need a first party. You go to the polls and your choices are the guy who voted for the first Wall Street bailout or the guy who voted for the next ten. This week, we're hearing that a public option for health care is unlikely because it doesn't have the support of enough -- Democrats! Even Ted Kennedy's plan -- Ted Kennedy, yeah -- leaves 37 million uninsured. This is because we don't have a left and a right party in this country anymore. We have a center-right party and a crazy party. And over the last thirty-odd years, Democrats have moved to the right, and the right has moved to a mental hospital. So what we have is one perfectly good party for hedge-fund managers, credit-card companies, banks, defense contractors, big agriculture, and the pharmaceutical lobby -- that's the Democrats; and they sit across the aisle from a small group of religious lunatics, flat-earthers, and Civil-War reenactors who mostly communicate by AM radio and call themselves the Republicans, and who actually worry that Obama is a socialist."
