A Prescient Analysis Of the GOP

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

A Prescient Analysis Of the GOP

Unread post by Boatrocker »

In THIS article from last October, Jonathon Chait, writing for New Republic calls it right. Six months old, now, it remains a detailed breakdown of the TeaOP caravan rushing headlong past the "last exit to relevance."
From the article:
"Already the extremism of the party has advanced to such a point that its most fervent elements are identified less by their ideology—which is nearly impossible to distinguish any more from that of the mainstream—than by the degree to which their detachment from reality departs from paranoia as a mere figure of speech and approaches actual, clinical paranoia."
I will not lie down.
I will not go quietly.
