ISTR a short story by Robert Heinlen which postulated just such a device. As the right-winger he was, I'm sure you wont be surprised that his viewpoint matched Maggies pretty much word for word.

In fact I'm a huge Heinlien fan. His personal political evolution is rather interesting; he didn't start out as what you dismiss as a "right-winger"--in fact he was quite liberal when young--but his life experience led him to the positions he espoused later.
