Say What You Feel, Eugene

In a cathartic and dead nuts on article today over at Real Clear Politics, Eugene Robinson tells it like it is:

The GOP is a mess and a Fraud

The whole article is quote-worthy but I found a few passages particularly juicy. His take on the GOP's Milton Friedman disciples suddenly embracing willy nilly government intervention is one such passage:

It's pathetic to hear right-wing talk radio blowhards try to associate Barack Obama with "radical" or "socialist" views when a Republican administration is tossing aside "Atlas Shrugged" and speed-reading "Das Kapital."

After documenting some of the Right's many governing misdeeds, Robinson closes with a call to exile Republicans to minority status:

When a political party reaches the point of lurching incoherence, the most effective cure is a good, long spell in the wilderness. Americans should help Republicans out by sending them home to get their act together.

Even after receiving what I hope will be a broad rejection of Republicans on November 4, conservatives will undoubtedly miss the point. Whereas I will see it as a wholesale rejection of their corporatist ideology, the Right will no doubt argue that their candidates just weren't conservative enough.
