Election 2008

And I Rest My Case

Brett Bozell accidentally reveals the ridiculous dishonesty of this "center-right nation" argument. Note the phrases in bold:

BOZELL: Conservatives didn’t play a role in this campaign. This was a moderate Republican against a liberal, left-wing Democrat. And the left-wing Democrat beat the moderate Republican. … If you look at the exit polls this year, you’ll find two fascinating results. Number one: This country remains every bit as center-right as it has for a generation.

HEMMER: You don’t think that’s changed at all?

BOZELL: No it hasn’t. … Number one is that the public is conservative; number two: Barack Obama won as a conservative. That means Barack Obama does not have the mandate to enact the progressive agenda he wants to enact.

So he ran as a left-wing liberal conservative?

Like I've been saying, America just elected the so-called "most liberal senator ever and a socialist, too!" (not true, but whatever). And yet we'e "center-right?" Sorry, no.
