In today's New York Post, John Podhoretz, a longtime conservative and the son of Norman Podhoretz, an even longer-time conservative, lays out how the misguided congressional Republicans are committing political suicide.
They think that they’re supported by a vast silent majority of Americans who dislike what they dislike and want what they want....I fear they are very, very wrong about the existence of this silent majority, and that their misperception is leading them to do significant damage to the already damaged Republican “brand.”

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

Posted: 10/9/13 at 11:30amExcept no one is a "McCain Conservative" anymore. There is a small(I hope) core of support for ANYTHING-- ANYTHING!!!!--- to put Obama in his place. It's more polarized than ever.

In which case, as I've been saying this leads, inexorably, to a 3rd party of far-right-wing conservatives, perpetually angry, never more than 20% of the country and forever incapable of electing anything but local officials and House members from gerrymandered districts.

A girl can dream, PJ. A girl can dream.
Meanwhile, we have another Great Recession to endure...
