(5,276 posts)We need to keep letting the tea party ruin the republicans. What I would like to see sooner than later is the "mainstream" democrats as the new republicans, and a real progressive coalition left of that. That would bring the baseline back to where it was pre Reagan, it all has drifted so far right and we see very little discussion of that.
If I hear one more democrat, like Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, say most people are moderate I'm going to hurl. Now I do feel sorry for her trying to explain, on Maher's show, why we embargo Cuba while worse acting countries have no such sanctions. I think she pulled muscle trying to do it.
It's like rationale try 2 or 3, I forget, for the Iraq war - that Saddam was a bad actor. True enough but there are worse actors we stay in bed with. Nice try Dubya, we'll file that with Rummy's 50 cent gasoline in a year.
