Dear Tweety, please keep Todd Harris locked in your studio...

[Clio the Leo]

... as he's the only member of the GOP who has any sense.

He just clearly outlined the only strategy for the GOP that uses actual logic. Republicans should take the core values of limited gvt. and "personal freedom" and apply it to policy issues like health care reform etc. He said that while it's important that they not ignore social issues they shouldn't do so at the cost of those in their party who take a more moderate stance on those issues (abortion etc.)

WHY is this guy a Republican? While I dont agree with him, it's clear he's got too much sense and debates matters to intelligently to be on the other side. So please, Chris, we dont want this guy out helping his own party. Lock him in a dressing room with some booze and a few hookers and so he can keep his ideas to himself. It's guys like that who just point out how foolish the rest of the party is.

thank you.

1. 'Limited government' canard is tiresome. We pay our taxes for government services. Only we don't

get much--unless your count our military empire. That's why we don't have health care like every other industrialized country in the world.

And, we are, for the most part, too duped to demand it.

2. Limited Government is a loser right now as well

When you, your friends, and your family are all being laid off or worried about being laid off, the message that the market solves everything, government is evil, more tax cuts has run its course.

You can sell that shit when unemployment is low. When people can't find work talking about the beauty of the free market isn't exactly a selling point.
