It might be time for the Republican Party to moderate itself a bit. Don’t get me wrong – as a card-carrying member of the much-reviled religious right, I have loved the last six years. But with two new conservatives on the Supreme Court, we have our prize. It is time to look to the future.
Both major parties have shifted away from the center. It is time for Republicans to take control of the ground that has been left in the middle. Not just for the sake of our party, but for the good of our country.
The American people are weary of being divided 50/50. The acid nature of today’s politics wears on me, and I’m a rabid partisan. So what am I proposing we do about it? In the 2008 presidential election, we should make John McCain the 44th president of the United States of America.
It makes sense because McCain isn’t beholden to the right wing of the Republican Party. He’s socially liberal but fiscally conservative. More importantly, he has waged a one-man war against government corruption.

Wasn't he one of the Keating 5 (http://www.realchange.org/mccain.htm)?
DU reaction is almost as dumb as the opinion piece:
