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.”

Except 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.

Clearly they have a death wish. Look no further than Ken Cucinelli's efforts to ban oral sex between consenting adults.
