Showing Original Post only (View all)FRUM: Vote out Obama ---or else "Republicans will go completely ape and destroy the country." [View all]
Former George W. Bush speechwriter David Frum makes such capitulation explicit.
The reason Americans should vote for Mitt Romney, says Frum, is that Congressional Republicans "have shown themselves a destructive and irrational force in American politics" and will only get worse if President Obama is re-elected.
If anything, says Frum, electing Obama to a second term will aggravate and empower these extremists, perhaps even provoke them into causing another impeachment crisis. By electing Romney, says Frum, we can avoid all that and discourage Congressional Republicans "from deliberately pushing the US into recession in 2013."
Holy cats! says Mother Jones' Kevin Drum, that's "the most overt form of the surrendering-to-terrorists argument that I've seen yet." Vote out Obama, Frum seems to be saying, or else "Republicans will go completely ape and destroy the country."
As they have shown again and again, today's Republicans no longer want to govern America so much as radically remake it.
