Speechwriter Krauthammer helped Walter Mondale try to defeat Ronald Reagan in 1984.
Krauthammer wasn’t a conservative then. He’s never been one since but he has made a good living playing one.
Well, I try not to look at the past but to current events but you do pose a good question. Do you take the past and the present when evaluating the current position.
I think that you do have to take both but in Krauthammer’s defense, I will say that I think that he has become more Conservative over time but of course that is relevant so I won’t press the point.
He has (to me) gone from a Conservative to a more liberal fellow taking the side of policies that make no sense to me (typical of Washington DC folks) so I have to say that no matter what he says at times, he is not longer a real Conservative but has been captured by the leftist opinion that is prevalent in Washington. Such is life...
I am beginning to expect nothing more from those that go into the Washington DC framework...moral going in, immoral going out...or worse, working for those that do both...at the taxpayers expense. Yes, most fit this pattern...what a joke we have with so called elections!
