Marc Ambinder: Have Conservatives Gone Mad?
Made popular 1123 days ago in Politics
theatlantic.com — Can anyone deny that the most trenchant and effective criticism of President Obama today comes not from the right but from the left? Rachel Maddow's grilling of administration economic officials. Keith Olbermann's hectoring of Democratic leaders on the public option. Glenn Greenwald's criticisms of Elena Kagan. Ezra Klein and Jonathan Cohn's keepin'-them-honest perspectives on health care. The civil libertarian left on detainees and Gitmo. The Huffington Post on derivatives.

I want to find Republicans to take seriously, but it is hard. Not because they don't exist - serious Republicans - but because, as Sanchez and others seem to recognize, they are marginalized, even self-marginalizing, and the base itself seems to have developed a notion that bromides are equivalent to policy-thinking, and that therapy is a substitute for thinking.

Freddd, I'm not sure how but some ultraliberals on this site have figured out how to vote many times on one issue. Don't let it upset you, this result represents a few who think cheating in solitare makes proves that they are skillful at solitare. Go figure!
