Bay Buchanan: We are a center-right country. That's why it's going to be very difficult for Obama.

1. Bullshit

That's another fiction we have to work to dispel on the air. I think Americans are ready to rediscover their own interests.

[Colobo]

2. Fuck Bay Buchanan

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

23. Uh-uh.

Nope.

[ksimons]

3. I thought Witchiepoo had left TV - oh wait, that's Bay Buchanan oops . . .nt

[Wizard777]

4. Not any more! Bush changed that.

[BrklynLiberal]

5. In her dreams...

[ImOnlySleeping]

6. What is that

I would once in my life like to hear her define center-right.

[gravity]

7. You keep telling yourself that

[Fridays Child]

8. It's all about job security, for Miss Bay.

She and her ilk fear that they'll be out of work, if they can't keep convincing Americans to drink their Kool-Aid.

9. Check out TIME mag this week.

I'm in Egypt, so I only get the crappy little International edition.

But there's a very good article predicting why liberal Democrats might hold power in DC for a generation. Completely blows Bay "At-The-Moon's" specious BS above.

10. Right--that's why Obama squeaked by with only 364 electoral votes

The phrase "elections have consequences" apparently also encompasses the
consequence that radical right-wing commentators have found that their
heads fit nicely in the sand or up their asses, and seem to fit better
in both places instead of held high celebrating American democracy--"unless
they're the dictator," as their Fearful Leader once said, and in far less jest
than appeared at the time.

21. You forgot Omaha! /nt

[DFW]

28. You're right, but then I ALWAYS forget Omaha....

[NYC Liberal]

11. Then why didn't this "center right" country vote for...McCain?!?

Maybe because it isn't one.

[mwb970]

20. Especially with McCain running against the "most liberal Senator"!

So the "most liberal Senator" beats the center-right candidate in a landslide, and the conclusion conservatives reach is that "this is still a center-right country".

Dumb, dumber, and dumbest. Keep talking, Bay. Get your crazy on!

[PatSeg]

12. Do these people know

that nobody is listening anymore? But they keep on talking as if anyone gives a shit!

[LynnTheDem]

13. Poor Bay.

Still thinkin' in the past.

[Bette Noir]

14. Bay Buchanan is an idiot.

[LatteLibertine]

15. I'm tired of hearing this bullshit

The election would indicate otherwise. I think people are waking up and abandoning these flawed ideals. At the same time the corporatism that grips this country is becoming very evident.

"Free market capitalism" in the United States has become largely mythical and illusionary. Those that already have much have scammed our economy for astronomical amounts of wealth.

The below trends are not accidental-

16. We are no longer a center-right country

That is why right wing morons like Bay Buchanan find the election so perplexing.

[Nostalgic]

17. There they go again

Saying Obama has center-right policies and then calling him a "socialist" at the same time. Do they think no one would notice the contradiction?

[lamp_shade]

18. Ed Rogers in wig and makeup.

[bulloney]

19. This is another attempt by the RW to repeat a lie and convince enough people

to believe we are a "center-right" nation, even though the Democrats have retaken control of Congress and the White House over the past two years, and the Dems increased their majority in Congress this month.

For example, Limbaugh, et al have blathered for years about all of the wonderful things about Ronald Reagan:

1. He was a fiscal conservative.
2. He shrank the size of government.
3. He ended the Cold War.
4. He personified family values.

As a result, most people on the street will parrot these perceptions about Reagan, but anybody who knows the real story of Reagan and his policies will tell you that the perceptions and the reality of Reagan are 180 degrees apart.

If you repeat a lie often enough, eventually, a lot of people will believe you're telling the truth.

[NOW tense]

22. The GOP was up right until the economy drop out because of GOP principles.

The GOP's ideas failed. Bay Buchanan Failed. Piss on the middle class failed. Deregulation Failed. War Failed. Boot straps Failed. Religious Wrong Failed. It all failed, but we are still center right? Two election cycles the GOP has failed and they live in denial because they can't think there way into the new century. They want to live in the past.

24. Her 15 minutes are UP!

Oh I can't stand this wanna-be fool. Her and Elisabeth HasselBitch are two of a kind- water carriers. During WWII, they would have been Eva Braun.

[The Wizard]

25. She's either suffereing cognitive dissonance

or eating lead paint or drunk.

[L0oniX]

26. There ya go again. Say it enough times and it becomes the truth ....pffft ...smell it!

[NorthCarolina]

27. I am hearing this "America is Center Right" repeatedly on all cable news channels

this is apparently something the right feels urgently compelled to sell to the public. Personally I don't buy it as I believe that America is mostly progressive-liberal. I recall Bill Maher indicated that while many people will identify themselves as "conservative", when questioned about specific topics their responses indicate liberal attitudes.

[Norrin Radd]

29. This country is a face getting stamped on by a center-right boot forever.

[lumpy]

30. Time to get out the hook and drag this tiresome, worn out,

jackass of a woman off of the media stage. This country sorely needs new blood in the pundit arena.
