Political Hallucination: Centrism Revealed

As was written elsewhere [at useless-knowledge.com] by the author of this present article, whenever voters have to choose between a true Democrat and a Republican running as if he were a Democrat, they always choose the genuine Democrat: Carter defeated Ford (a liberal-moderate), Clinton defeated, first, George H. W. Bush, the second time the latter had run as basically a liberal and, second time, then Dole (a liberal-moderate), and now Obama had, thus, defeated McCain. But, many political idiots such as Medved, some conservatives, and most neoconservatives still, quite insanely, do insist that all viable Republican candidates for President must simply be center-left candidates or, better put, truly genuine moderates/centrists. It is, as is historically well observed, a very well known prescription for deserved defeat. Q. E. D.

If a conservative candidate, hopefully with the ability of a Reagan, had fortunately gotten the 2008 nomination, he would not have had to critically choose a conservative VP candidate for the sake of necessarily uniting most Republicans, meaning especially, as noted, those on the political right. So, Medved and all those other neoconservatives who think as he does are completely and, as was clearly demonstrated, logically wrong as well; this is perceived, therefore, in terms of their absurd and idiotic political analyses.

But, as was insightfully noted above and through the logical citing of what Reagan actually did in 1980, Palin, meaning a conservative, would not have to have been picked if McCain, one sees, was genuinely known as a real conservative; the conservative base, surely, knew better when it soundly rejected him in the primaries as the proverbial wolf in sheep’s clothing; this was properly confirmed, if further evidence be needed, by Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin, Mike Savage, and many other conservative commentators who had openly detested McCain (especially prior to his getting the party establishment’s nod as the unfortunately resulting but greatly obnoxious candidate).

Of course, McCain’s predicable loss will not at all, not in the slightest, ever stop Medved and many others from politically hallucinating, for years to come, after each Republican defeat – if their very highly erroneous recommendations are so stupidly followed. And, as long as Medved remains a sufficiently dedicated neoconservative, he will stay tremendously delirious due to much excessive digestion of that great drug, a powerful narcotic, known as: Egotism.

On the other hand, he has all of his full civil rights, which, one guesses, includes the total right to enjoy all of his own personal -political hallucinations; and, this surely covers his well discerned ineptitude concerning gross political prognostication, e.g., the McCain candidacy as a, thus, prime exhibit of such a charge. Hopefully, his future defeatist prescriptions for failure will, deservedly, be just laughed at and, moreover, properly ignored by intelligent people well schooled in realistic politics.

In the meanwhile, of course, US Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-GA) has been most handily reelected, with 14 points comfortably ahead of his Leftist opponent in the special run-off election, as both an avowed and totally unashamed conservative; this result is, of course, absolutely contrary, as readily observed, to the widely supposed, predominant wave of moderation-centrism in fundamentally pervading America and Medved’s 2008 (absurd) recommendations.
