Intentionally or unintentionally McCain's campaign has brought out some people with disturbing statements if not disturbing tendencies.
The Republican Party had marginalized these people, as had Buckley's father when he essentially invented the modern conservative movement, this is the party that elected Dwight Eisenhower in the 50s. Intentionally or unintentionally Reagan began to bring these people into the fold, Lee Atwater was probably the great architect of this and Karl Rove has continued it.
If and when McCain looses, the far right will pull out all the stops to regain control of the party and if they do things will really get ugly. Folks like Buckley may be out of the Republican Party for good.
These are tough times for the hard right, their bread and butter issues, character assasination and guilt by association, don't have any traction because of the economy. In the meantime, given the hate they are whipping up because of this frustration, the Secret Service better double Obama's protection when he's elected. That One is going to need it.

If you want to talk anger about the mortgage and banking crisis, I'll tell you from a conservative perspective.
I agree that many Democrats, as well as Republicans, are to blame and Dodd and Frank are at the top of the list.
