(85,986 posts). . . it's the republican/conservative bull which I assume he still falls back on that I can't stomach.
It's really not hard at all to find a rational argument against today's republican agenda and practice. I look on with satisfaction at Frum and others who are trying to pull their party out of the abyss and just know that there will never be an acceptable floor to their defense of their regressive party. It's just not true, as Frum and his turncoats might protest, that this extremism and avarice we're seeing from their desperate and marginal pols is some new thing . . . Maybe more prominent, but the hate and divisiveness have been their base for as long as I've been watching politics. I believe Frum and the rest would be happy if their racism, bigotry, and greed were all under the surface -- away from discerning voters' eyes. I think that's mostly what they're lamenting.
