So it has come to this. Our political discourse has moved so far to the right that the House Democrats have followed Obama’s lead and adopted Ronald Reagan as their role model for responsible adult behavior, while today’s no-tax-increases-under-any-circumstances Republicans would revile the GOP’s patron saint as an unrealistic business-killing big-government socialist for presenting a deficit-reduction plan composed almost entirely of tax increases.


Discuss.

1. Surely we can find a hero that isn't a complete fascist pig like Reagan? nt

Should I write the White House and suggest a few thousand good people to use as heroes, so he can dump the evil right wing Raygun pig?

2. I loved this part

" I can’t wait till next November, when the party that wants to cut Social Security and Medicare squares off against the party that wants to cut Social Security and Medicare while raising taxes slightly."

Should make it easy to vote. Or not.
