Pat Robertson, who recently made headlines for saying that if your spouse has Alzheimer's you are free to divorce them, has come back with a harsh critique of the way some Republicans, and some in the Tea Party, are going about in their politics.
Apparently, even Pat Robertson, an extremist himself, is afraid of the extremism found in the Republican Party. This is what he says about this issue:
“Those people in the Republican primary have got to lay off of this stuff. They’re forcing their leaders, the frontrunners, into positions that will mean they lose the general election.”As an example of the extremism found in the Tea Party, the article points at some practices by them.
Robertson is right about that, at least. Just ask Barry Goldwater. Tea Party denizens today are very fond of carrying signs at their rallies that quote Barry Goldwater’s famous phrase from his 1964 speechaccepting the Republican presidential nomination: “I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice.”
They should also be reminded that Barry Goldwater lost that election.
I am very worry for the USA. Obama is not looking good, but when I see the Republicans, they are a threat as well. Democracy is based on free choices, but in the USA, they only have two. Not much democracy if you tell me.
Well, at least, is good to see that some of the most extremist people can see that their own people will not be able to win the election, if they carry on the way they are going.
