Knowing how right wing the Republican Party has become, my only bad moment with Barack Obama during the campaign was when he said he was going to be post partisan and I got post-partisan depression because I knew that that meant dealing with these people.
Who else but Barney Frank
Gotta love this quote: "I noticed last week in "The New York Times" that the responsible conservatives are starting to complain now that the arguments against the Obama plan and against our efforts for health care are being dominated by the crazies. That‘s their fault."
ReplyDeleteThe party has ceded itself to the far right extremists, and instead of regaining control, they are attracting more and more of the lunatic fringe.
This Fresh Air segment featuring investigative reporter Max Blumenthal and his new book - Republican Gomorrah: Inside the Movement that Shattered the Party - is both fascinating and frightening. I think that I will buy the book.
