I didn't draw that conclusion.
"How tragic that Ronald Reagans GOP has become the political equivalent of 1,000 cases of non-alcoholic beer: Pricey and pointless."
I read a lament for the party of limited government to return to its philosophical roots. The GOP will never be able to pander more than the dems. It shoots itself in the foot when it tries pandering. That is Rove's main error with his vote buying strategy. Too many in the base are taken for granted. IMHO, that's why so many talk about voting third party or staying home on Election Day.
When you're a small business, you like the chaos of the market. When you're a big business, you like a cartel that ensures stability.
