Anyone? I have strong Republican friends who have great common sense who I would trust to run the government. For the most part anyway. I know it is a product of the extremist rule on both sides but it still amazes me that Republican leadership can be so craven as to align themselves with Wall Street in the battle over financial reform. Of course many of these same leaders who decried Obama's stimulus money and then appear at local events with the large checks being presented for project's paid for by Obama's stimulus. Something is wrong in Washington. On both sides of the aisle mind you but the right is so over the top right now it is hard to fathom.
John McCain has been a Maverick and proud of it as recently as the last election. He is not anymore, denying the term as he runs for reelection in Arizona.
The system is broken. Republicans who reach across the aisle are targeted in primaries. Ask Charlie Crist what happens to those that do not follow the conservative line that Obama cannot be worked with.
If moderates cannot win only radicals on the right and left will win. They will win by disguising themselves in the election but once they win they will move toward whatever they were hiding. This is not the way for us to govern
