A BARF ALERT on anything written by Paul Krugman is redundant, don’t you think?

Rise in extremism

I was contemplating the Specter/Sestak race here in PA this morning as I was driving around to polling places for a campaign I've volunteered for.

When Specter left the GOP, it was decried as a triumph as extremism in that part.

But if far-left Sestak wins tomorrow, it will be lauded as the will of the people coming through against an entrenched career politician.

Krugman is just continuing that double-standard with this column.

So where does our political system go from here? Over the near term, a lot will depend on economic recovery. If the economy continues to add jobs, we can expect some of the air to go out of the tea party movement.

There's your problem Paul. Marxists don't understand how free markets work. So the economic prosperity you require to cause the tea party to fade into the mist has a small problem.

Yeah, and Mitt Romney’s plan was socialist, too, and we don’t like it either, but at least it had the virtue of not arrogating unconstitutional powers to the Federal Government.

RE :” True, that's not how it was supposed to work. When the economy plunged into crisis, many observers — myself included — expected a political shift to the left. After all, the crisis made nonsense of the right’s markets-know-best, regulation-is-always-bad dogma. In retrospect, however, this was naive: Voters tend to react with their guts, not in response to analytical arguments — and in bad times, the gut reaction of many voters is to move right.....

Krugman barf ping. It was this moron that claimed massive government debt spending was the way to ‘create jobs’. But now he is saying that our logical reaction to his and Obama’s economic failures should be to support/reward Obama and democrats, but we are just too irrational for that, instead going with our feelings.

Funny, I see a dramatic correlation between the countrys’ economic problems and Krugman’s stupidity level.
