That was a good read. Thanks for posting. The article sums up so nicely the BS we see posted by republican/tea party types on the CanCom politics board. Mainly, the absence of intellectual honesty and ability; a win at all costs, scorched earth approach to politics that puts party before nation, and corporate moneyed interests before the middle class.

I am doubtful that any of our righty friends will offer any meaningful analysis as to where/how this article misses the point. But let's give them the opportunity to offer up some observations. Please Islandboy, Rusty, et al, tell us why the underlying premise of this article is wrong? Where do you take exception?

If nothing else, this article demonstrates what is so wrong with the right wingnuts in this country. In effort to appeal to their base, the right is in a downward spiral to the bottom, dismissing hard analysis as the trips and traps of the "educated elite," and in favor of hockey mom's leading the nation.
