D Magazine - "Obama is almost the ideal candidate for this moment in American history"

It's becoming a trend, GOP loyalists defecting to Obama. In a recent edition of D Magazine, the long time stalwart of Dallas culture and entertainment, Editor Wick Allison hands in his elephant for a donkey. The column gives details how the GOP has walked away from it's roots and become a party of the far right.

Allison gets right to the issue.

Today it is conservatives, not liberals, who talk with alarming bellicosity about making the world “safe for democracy.” It is John McCain who says America’s job is to “defeat evil,” a theological expansion of the nation’s mission that would make George Washington cough out his wooden teeth.

This kind of conservatism, which is not conservative at all, has produced financial mismanagement, the waste of human lives, the loss of moral authority, and the wreckage of our economy that McCain now threatens to make worse.

Worth a read and worth passing on to your GOP friends.
