Obama has driven the modern GOP and its followers crazier than the Deliverance Banjo Kid on crack. We all get that.
Paul Krugman points out that it is a good idea to keep an eye on them.
But here’s the thing: the G.O.P. looked as crazy 10 or 15 years ago as it does now. That didn’t stop Republicans from taking control of both Congress and the White House. And they could return to power if the Democrats stumble. So it behooves us to look closely at the state of what is, after all, one of our nation’s two great political parties.
That’s why I’m gratified to see that so many liberals will be out this Wednesday to document the craziness at the great tea bagging.
