And only a nod. Then he spends oxygen rattling about irrelevant issues just like a good politician.
You want them to address what you see as the real problems in the GOP but you forget they blaze their own reality. They choose what issues are important to you and they address those. You’re job is to write that down and study it. Right now the reality they are ‘tuning’ is that everything that is wrong is the fault of the democrats. It’s not new but it works. Actually solving the problems is of course out of the question. Best to just scream socialist and hope the proles pull the lever with an R next to it next time.

Would you believe it? Having learned that pretty much all of Daniel’s articles are worth reading, I had actually gone straight to the text without bothering to glance at the title. Now I see it. Indya is right.

The title is rightly a chapter title for that book Daniel is secretly writing.

Yes, we can do better and should do better about spending, and we need to evaluate earmarks carefully for their intrinsic worth. But centering around earmarks when you have concerns about healthcare, job creation and stimulation of the economy, as well as ending the Iraq war… priorities, people. The title of this entry is classic. You’re on fire, Daniel.

Mr. Flake is a good friend to our side, but he is not known for the breadth of his vision, is he?

Well, he is what he is. He’ll not change. We are rather better off having him in Congress than out of it, I think. Count me as unreservedly pro-Flake.

But I am not sure that we need fifty more Congressmen just like him.
