How do you guys feel about David Frum? [View all]

[Bicoastal]

I thoroughly enjoyed his article in Newsweek about why the Republicans lost. What's interesting about Frum is that most of his Republican colleagues have turned their backs on him in favor of Tea Party rage and paranoia; they're so busy placing the blame on scapegoats and imaginary boogeymen, but in reality just can't stomach the fact that they lost because (duh) their current strategy is a losing one. He's one of the few commentators I've seen on the right who (correctly) believe that:

1) Obama's victory wasn't even close, and not attributable to Sandy or fraud or "Gifts" or some other bullshit.

2) Today's GOP is anti-science, anti-diversity, and anti-reasonableness. "Fox Nation" represents a misleadingly small sector of the population, and a quick-fix solution like shameless pandering to Hispanics won't change a thing.

3) If Republicans continue on their current path, they will lose again and again until they go extinct, but not before doing irreparable harm to their followers.

My own personal feeling is that we need more Republicans like David Frum out there to bring sanity to the GOP--for the safety of the entire nation. Yes, it's fun to laugh at their ruin, but the more they spin out of control, the more whackjobs they produce. And the more racist, classist, right wing lunatics there are out there, the more dangerous this country gets for all of us.
