McCain Continues to Prove Himself the Enemy of the Grassroots
McCain is on the right track, if you’ll pardon the pun.
To participate, you’ll have to join the center, and abandon the fringe. It is by definition, the margin. If you want marginal, then by all means, appeal to the fringe. If you want to be mainstream, you’ve got to join in with the needs of the nation.
Texas Instruments used to be criticize by engineers as saying “No, you don’t want chocolate, you want vanilla and here’s why…”. Lately, they’ve started offering better hardware that appeals to the real world and they have benefitted. The right can take a lesson from this, and that is that it’s harder to swim upstream while crossing a river. You can still get to the other side if you go with the flow. Moderation makes you more acceptable, not less.
A two party system is a good thing. One of them can’t be insane, though, so please come back to the world where the rest of us live. Listen to McCain and get moderate.
