On the political front, however, I think it's just as important to achieve a progressive agenda--throwing whatever elbows are necessary to get the job done--that would put Americans back to work, give them health coverage, and start this country on the road to energy independence. Once in place and working, with all the fear-mongering exposed for what it really was, that agenda--like Social Security, Medicare, and so forth--would enjoy a level of popular support that would simply bury the GOP. Marginalized and teetering on the brink of oblivion, they might actually rethink their political position. Meanwhile, you're right--there's no reasoning with them, because they have no interest in good governance. They're interested only in regaining power, by whatever means is necessary.Battling Bobnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-41171257541417817332010-02-02T08:25:22.644-06:002010-02-02T08:25:22.644-06:00The GOP is sort of like the Terminator.
