A lot of the adjectives give the slant away. If you scan a post like that for the adjective choice, you can soon see the poster is not even making a serious effort, despite protestations, at distance. But, having said that, I think the problem he has in mind is a real one. I just don't think giving up the proportional representation is a good way to go. Just tweak the sucker.

Obama is the candidate of those who think the war in Iraq is immoral, Israel should be pressured to make more concessions for peace, guns should be outlawed, abortion should be available on demand, free and without restrictions, US foreign policy was responsible for 9/11, the United States should not have a military until it abandons the policy of "don't ask, don't tell", religion can be ridiculed unless it is done in a mosque or Trinity United, the gravest threat to individual liberty is the government eavesdropping on phone calls from Al Qaeda, captured terrorists should be Mirandized, lawyered up and released to blow themselves up in Baghdad or Tel Aviv, and you can fill in the blanks from reading a visit to any number of left wing blog sites ManyMoose, That paragraph makes it abundantly clear that the writer is a right winger. The article itself makes it very transparent that the Republicans would rather be facing Hillary. One reason I think is that the recognition that McCain maybe severely overmatched with Obama is sinking in. The other is that Bush has swung the pendulum so far right, in the general election people may gravitate to the more liberal candidate
