Republicans

From Gore Derangement Syndrome:

Today, being a good Republican means believing that taxes should always be cut, never raised. It also means believing that we should bomb and bully foreigners, not negotiate with them.

While I agree wholeheartedly with most of this Op-ed, I just don’t think this statement is valid. Granted, the sentiment is there. From the news, the speeches, you do get the sense that the Party is in this direction and that the conservative populus is. But would an individual Republican politician really feel this way? But then where’s the disconnect. Maybe I should ask a Republican politician. Or have someone ask for me.In addition, the idea of a smaller government and fiscal responsibility in no ways rationally leads to such a conclusion nor situation. Maybe Lakoff has the answer.
