When Pat Robertson calls you out on extremism you know something has gone wrong somewhere.

On his show "The 700 Club," televangelist Pat Robertson commented on the views of the GOP, calling them a bit too extreme.
Robertson quoted Lyndon Johnson: "Don't these people realize that if they push me over to an extreme position, I'll lose the election?"
The notoriously controversial Christian figure mentioned that if candidates venture into heavily radical territory, it could cost Republicans the general election.
"Those people in the Republican primary have got to lay off of this stuff," he exclaimed. "If they want to lose, this is the game for losers."
Not really. Easy way to garner him some attention.
Not that remarkable, the candidates are focusing on radical economic changes rather than moral issues.
This story would be better if we were told exactly what Robertson considers extreme. I'm not sure exactly wants, does he want them to hold these extreme views secretly, pretend to be moderate, and then enact the extreme positions?
