As Brian at Right Wing Watch says, “when even Pat Robertson thinks the Republican Party has shifted too far to the right, you know there is a problem.” Mind you, Pat’s not saying he necessarily disagrees with the far right platforms of the GOP candidates, but he’s looking at it from a strategic perspective and at least is aware that the majority of the American public just isn’t in line with far right Republican values. Here is Pat saying, in essence, that if the 2012 Republican candidates don’t stop being such freakish wingnuts, that they will all lose to Barack Obama, a million times.
Heh. Head over to RWW for the transcript.
I never thought I would say this about Pat, but I can only hope that he is right!
Quite a statement coming from a wingnut hall of famer. A game for losers? Amen, Pat! You characterized this group just right.
Robertson is evil and greedy and ignorant in many ways, but he’s not stupid when it comes to manipulating people. How many fools still send him checks and watch his 19th century tv show.
Pat was smart. He hired Ralph Reed to conceal the scary part of his agenda. None of the GOP candidates know how to smile and make their extreme views sound palatable.
