….it gets ready to jump the whole ocean. Demonization politics seems to trump all (even political wisdom: so someone thinks this might attract younger voters, Latinos, African Americans, moderates and independents?). Democrats should have some fun with this because if most non-Rush/non-Hannity/non-Beck listeners don’t see it this way the flip side is that they will see the GOP as a party that uses an extremist prism to view opponents who many of these other Americans voted for or don’t see as a threat.
And Democrats? You wonder if they have moles in the RNC and GOP. Already some seem to feel Christmas has come early.. Some are stunned.
