Tom Tomorrow:
Why they hate him
Imagine how you’d feel if Joe Lieberman had just captured the Democratic nomination.

That’s how the far right sees McCain.

1. Wow!

I didn't know that the far right was that vehement against McCain. Interesting that McCain has over 900 delegates, though. Apparently the far right doesn't have the clout that they perhaps thought they did. Do you see them going for Ron Paul or Huckabee?

2. The GOP was hijacked and not one Republican spoke up

When the neocons began their march to take over the party, in 1964, it began the march of the neocon.
They liked the money, a war could generate. It made them rich.

In 1976, when Reagan got shot down at the convention, the neocons got mad and spent millions to take control.
They did, and in 1980 began the march to rule. They did, it cost them over a billion to get to 2008, but they did control.
It was very poor control, and management, but they did control.

Now we see the majority of Republicans, who are moderates, leaving that party and a few speaking up, to purge the party of the far right wing radicals.
The moderates know, the neocons are dangerous. They are seen, by moderates as foolish and emotionally driven. The neocon mind, stops functioning when buzz words are mentioned; abortion, gay, wages, health.....they don't even get to the second parts of those words, choice, marriage or care.

The GOP is facing an basic structural fiasco. They are three parties, a militant part, a religious part, and a lockstep part. None of which the moderates subscribe to.
The result is many moderates leaving the GOP lockstep assumption. Once a Republican is not always a Republican.

But that's fine. Every now and then, all political parties need an internal rebellion, to get back to representing the actual voter.
This change, shifts the platform, changes the issues and certainly elects, candidates, that are not lockstep.
That was something the neocons, not only assumed...they demanded, by intimidation, humiliation and smear.

Those days are dying, the slow and painful death, of ignorance and deceit.

You can bet, the Dems convention will have rule changes to be more representative, and superdelegates will be accountable.
Then two weeks later, the GOP can either accept that kind of rule change, and purge the neocon ideology, or repeat the 1948 election.
1948 was similar in the voter's anger toward the GOP. They wound up with 18 Senate and 88 House seats. After winning both houses in 1946.
A party can be a total screw up.
The neocon's certainly screwed up the GOP.
