How do you guys feel about David Frum?

[Enrique]

35. Frum is to be used for entertainment purposes only

it is enjoyable to hear an elite conservative trash the non-elites.

But he is dishonest and cynical in the same way David Brooks is. I have heard each of them write flat-out falsehoods to support their conservative policies. And there is a reason we all like what he writes, and like what Brooks writes: we are the targets of their persuasive efforts.

Someone above asked why they haven't ditched the GOP. That's a very good question, if they believe what they are saying about the GOP, why are they still among them. What could a "reasonable republican" have against Obama that they would endorse Romney over Obama (which both Frum and Brooks did).

And as I recall, they both used the same cynical rationale for endorsing Mitt: they said that if Mitt were elected, the gridlock would go away, that if Obama were re-elected the GOP would bring down the country with their obstructionism. Well how reasonable is that? OK, NYT readers, what you have to do is hand the country over to the extremist hostage-takers. Both of them said that!

Bottom line is, I like reading them trash the troglodytes, but don't be fooled, when it comes down to it, they are on the side of the trogs.
