Right wing talkers want a Democratic victory because it makes their jobs easier and, they think, they will make themselves richer. Proving that they don't actually care about conservatives or values or anything else but themselves, they have attacked McCain, by any rational standards a man who is a fairly conservative candidate, as not being sufficiently pure on their Conservative Hypocrite scale.
Mark Helprin, in an op ed in the Wall Street Journal figures that the Right-Wing Talkers are down on McCain, not because he isn't really a conservative, but because they expect to rise again, as they had in the '90s, if there is a Democrat in the White House.
It doesn't matter that Mitt Romney, suddenly their Reagan, became a conservative in a flash of light sometime last year, or that their other champion, a populist theocrat, is in many ways as conservative as Vladimir Lenin. The task is to stop the devil McCain.
After all, none of these talkers ever had the guts to critique the disaster that is the Bush Administration and they have nothing positive to say at all. Without that, they need Democrats to win. If McCain wins, they will lose. They won't be rolling in the money the way they did. Will their listeners finally realize that they are an odious waste of airtime? Will their listeners finally realize that the Republicans are the problem and vote for Democrats for good reasons?
We don't know the answers to this yet, but if the talk show purveyors of hate continue to attack McCain, they can only help the Democrats. Sure, their purpose is to set themselves up to have a big, dissatisfied audience when President [Obama | Clinton] is sworn in next January, but that's fine with me. Let these greedy bastards destroy the Republican Party with their greed. After all, Rush, Laura, and the rest of this vile collection of hate-filled loudmouths, don't actually have a vote in Congress. Democrats will be in the position to prove that they can and do run our country better than the Republicans do.
I'm sure that the talk-radio people will continue their lies and distortions, no matter who wins and that they will continue to attack Democrats and make excuses for Republicans, but their demand for a Spartacist-like perfection in Republican candidates today, can only help Democrats. For that, I thank the greed of these naturally uncivil people.
Let the Republicans destroy each other. America will be all the better for it.
