Under bush and RR the GOP got itself redefined into the party of the rich AND the pasrty with a credo. That credo is religious and the BRites do not allow variances. THAT is why McCain is not a BR Republican but also why he represents a real alternative to the Dems.

The Dem side also has a credo but it is a lot closer to objective reality than the BR mantra. As a result, rationalists like Obama and HRC can get the votes of the Dem party w/o alienating the large part of America that believes in global warming, woman’s rights to controil their bodies, Darwin, physics, the UN, etc.

John McCain is a Rational Republican. We have not seen one of these birds since Nixon .. at least no one who could get nominated. Pandering to the flat earth society during the primaries may hurt him getting elected, but there is worse to come. His problem, in the unlikely event that he can get elected, is that he has few allies in his own party. The majority of the GOP believes
in the infinitude of oil, the Christian origin of the US, conception=origin of human life, Global warming is a hoax, supply side voodoo, etc."

Here is the beginning of my post. And here is the rest of it.
