Great article: "Can the Republicans Be Saved From Obsolescence?"

1. Not really, because it's not in a conservative's nature to change.

It's not in their nature to admit error either.

Here's a cherry-picked, but telling, sentence about how they think:

The group of a half-dozen or so conservative pundits and consultants calls itself Proximus, which is Latin for “next,” and they seem to revel in their internal disagreements. One of them argued, “Not all regulation is bad,” while another countered, “I hate all regulations, every single one of them” — including, he cheerfully admitted, minimum-wage and child-labor laws.

I don't know what's worse with them . . . the fact that they still embrace Borrow-and-Waste Reaganomics on Steroids, that they still cling to this "liberal media" crap, that they won't admonish and disown their far-far-right nutbars, or that their social and international agendas are hate-centric piles of shit that need to be landfilled with every copy of The Laffer Curve.
