Somebody let Michael Steele out of his undisclosed location. Yesterday he questioned the recession.
I clicked through and by the time I left think progress, a new theory was swimming in my brain. One only needs to read the clueless Michael Steele or unhinged blowhardiness of the one time rising GOP star, Dave Burris, who would rather punch me (thank you laws) than make a rational argument, to prove my theory correct.
The theory is this: The Republicans never ever ever…EVER… want to be in a position of having to make decisions again.
On some level they understand the lessons of the Bush years. Republicans only want to be the annoyingly feisty and festering opposition party for ever and ever. The party of nostalgia wants to turn back the clock to a time when they were so much vaguely pissed off window dressing. Then they want to take the batteries out of the clock and crazy glue the hands in place.
I’m sure that is the strategy. Why else would all the steps they’ve taken be so in sync? Why else would all their talking heads be marching in lock step the the crazy Fox News Calliope? Why else would the movement be so aligned by the gravitational pull of the same bizzaro world rationality?
My friends, there is no other possible reason. The Republicans have quit.
