"The ideological, right-wing element of the Republican Party has been building strength, partly in reaction to things that happened 40 years ago — Barry Goldwater's defeat, the excess of the '60s, Ronald Reagan's election" he said. "But this is the first time on a consistent basis, the most conservative, the most ideological wing of the Republican Party has had both the executive and legislative branches with a very distinct governing philosophy and very distinct political philosophy."Pretty hard to argue with that, right? Well, apparently it is very hard to argue with that, particularly if you are Tracy "Moth To The Flame" Schmitt, the spokeswoman for the Republican National Committee. Here's her response:
He said the United States' effort to develop new weapons and cut taxes undercut the moral arguments.
"They favor unilateralism whenever possible and cooperation when it is inevitable," Clinton said without specifically mentioning members of the Bush administration.
"The problem with ideology is, if you've got an ideology, you've already got your mind made up. You know all the answers and that makes evidence irrelevant and arguments a waste of time. You tend to govern by assertion and attacks."
"It's not surprising to hear these attacks from a man widely recognized for repeatedly playing the blame game to cover his own mistakes."I love it.
Meanwhile, there's a lot of buzz on the Internets saying that a certain Republican Congressman from Illinois -- who shall not be named here -- is about to be implicated in the House Page Kid-Diddling Scandal. If that does happen, I think the GOP can pretty much kiss the House goodbye.
OK, I'll give you a hint -- it ain't Hastert.
