I am surprised that more educated conservatives don't speak out against the anti-elitist movement in the GOP. They have to realize that bringing populist but ignorant voices into the party only drags them down. Intelligence and superior education is nothing to be ashamed about.

Bill Bennett - before he got stupid and addicted to gambling - was one such intellectual. Where are they now? Where is the new generation of conservatives who have graduate degrees and are able to go toe-to-toe with the left? The dumbing down of the GOP irks me greatly, and is part of the reason why I'm a conservative man without a party. There was a time when conservatism was thinking conservatism.

Either it was a sheer coincident, or Republican ops planted him there. Either way, Joe the Plumber is a blathering idiot, I doubt if he'll debate the merits of Kirk, Hayek, Hasek or Oakenshott.
