Right-wing values take on liberalism

It was an election about unity, non-partisanship and getting America back on track, until Senator John McCain reignited a war that could cost the Democrats the election.

It’s not the race war of Senator Barack Obama, or the class war of former Senator John Edwards, or a clash between the voices of experience and idealism. It is a culture war that pits American right-wing values against liberalism. The election is no longer about the economy or foreign policy; it’s about the division in American values that presidential candidate Pat Buchanan underscored in his 1992 convention speech.

“This election is about much more than who gets what. It is about who we are. It is about what we believe. It is about what we stand for as Americans,” he said.
