blue bits. red rocks.
Friday 4 December 2009

Indeed, the top liberal agenda right now should be to help more Blue Dogs win in contested districts! Recruit decent, progressive, if sometimes a bit too-crewcut ex-military men and women to run against the loony culture warriors, everywhere possible. Help the GOP to continue along in a long, self-chosen path, marginalizing itself into the New Know Nothings, and thus finally put the once-great party of Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt and Dwight Eisenhower out of its terminal illness. And, if the predictable result is to eventually split the Democratic Party in two? Into a Liberal party (mostly free of loony lefties) and a Decent-Moderate Conservative/Libertarian Party (free of monstrously crazy neocons)? Well, it may surprise you to learn that this exact thing happened before, earlier in the life of the republic. David Brin
