I think the most amazing WTF????? thing in that article, though, is Krauthammer suggesting Obama offer Romney the Sec of Treasury post.
OMG - and I don't use OMG very often.
In a couple of days our entire treasury would be somewhere in the Caymans.
And only mittens would have the password.

> Krauthammer suggesting Obama offer Romney the Sec of Treasury post.

Amazing how repigs come begging and groveling for gov't jobs when a Dem wins.

I thought repigs were the party of "I built that!"
I thought repigs hated gov't, which must mean they hate gov't jobs.

Just more irony that the GOP loves so much. The Greedy Old Pedophile party should be renamed POI - Party Of Irony.

Americans are vulnerable to platitudes and fundamentalist arguments which have no basis in reality. Republicans survive on that. Problem for them is that Democrats are fairly conservative on most real issues. Republicans are relegated to racism, xenophobia, homophobia, and misogyny to attract a base. Changes in demographics make that increasingly hard.

As the Republicans became more radical, the Democrats occupied the middle. Republican philosophy embraces no compromise. There is no place for them to go.


I purposely left out reference to his climate denial. Another potential can of worms.

Republicans have been backed into a corner. As their numbers deplete, they will die.

It simply pretends that the republicans of 2012 are EXACTLY THE SAME as the Democrats of 2004. And it claims that since Democrats won in 2006 and 2008 (without ANY soul searching), republicans can do the same now.

Here's a hint, republicans: President Obama is not President Bush. Sitting back and waiting for Obama to destroy the economy or escalating a war isn't going to help. He's not going to help you get elected the same way Bush helped us get elected in '06 and '08.

But whatever.
