We got a taste of McCain and "how much a better place the world would be" with his campaign-finance bill. You claim that McCain is a Goldwater conservative. Goldwater supported smaller government and free speech. McCain pushed a bill through that had the opposite result--basically imposing a federal speech code complete with jail terms and LOTS more government intervention. As a result we now have the FEC preventing people from expressing their political opinions before elections. That's "conservative"? The greater result was to push us further to the left. Either McCain was intentionally pushing for bigger/more controlling government or else he was a total muck-up. Either way, not exactly a Goldwater conservative or a successful presidential type.
It damned-sure isn't about any liberals moving right. It's about the left-wingnuts taking over the DNC and yanking the rug out from under moderates/left-leaning centrists.
Look at the evidence. In order for a Dem to run for President, what do they do? Put on a moderate facade. Bill did it. Hillary's trying to. Gore and Kerry were complete failures at it.
