GOP Loses Its Voice
The excellent Glenn Greenwald notes the GOP suddenly watering down their former favourite line. The loss of old standards can cast a political party adrift at the best of times {just witness the woe that has befallen the Conservative Party now their “small state” rhetoric is the exact opposite of what the public desires} but when it is one as widely despised and intellectually vapid as the Republican Party it is hard to imagine any way back out of the wilderness. To propose another Buckley as required would be an understatement and clearly insuffecient. They seem more in need of a Bernstein.
