They just need a candidate who can get elected.
Someone other than those previously touted.
Hyping any Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy memes does not seem to have any advantage for conservatives. The best defense against Obama and extremists is a good offense. His tax policies, deficits, and dissing of America and American values ought to be sufficient to make him a one-termer. But it's up to the GOP to find a good candidate. It's entirely possible they will repeat the mistakes of '08 and nominate a dud again. It is unlikeley backwoods survivalists worried about phantom UN helicopters will be to blame for that. You have to balance out the negative factors of the kookier fundamentalists and defeatist moderates very carefully. As well as the liberals in large cities who worry about them excessively.
It doesn't seem like too much criticism of Obama is a real problem in the current cycle. Is he as scary and demented as some would want to believe, with reeducation camps ready?No, probably not. But the analogy may be that out of order. They are following a reeducation campaign with statist socialist themes. He thinks in statist terms. The Orwellian/Big Brother 1984 jokes are on target.
