“Burt, by the same token, you have not addressed the contention that we will actually have a better chance of stopping destructive policies with an opposition Congress, rather than having a Dem Congress and a 3/4 Dem President.”
Well I’m not a math type guy but it seems to me that a 75% Dem + a 100% Dem Congress just has to be somehow less Dem than a 100 Dem + a 100% Dem Congress.
But as I said, I’m not a math type guy. Maybe someone with a more relevant degree can weigh in on this one.
PS — And that ignores the fact that McCain is NOT 75% Dem. But ignoring facts seems lately to be less a bug than a feature of ‘real’ conservatism. Thank goodness the virus appears to self-limiting and shows no sign of spreading to the wider population.
I read another blog comment where the ‘real’ conservative type guy, estimated that ‘real’ conservatives amounted to about 12% of the total US population. But purity of thought was critical. Evidently his point was that either the 12% tail was going somehow to wag the 88% dog, or failing that, the dog was simply not worth wagging anyway.
But this has inspired me to try to help out. Good natured soul that I am. I propose a new role model for the ‘real’ conservative movement.
General Jack D. Ripper: “I can no longer sit back and allow ‘Liberal’ infiltration, ‘Liberal’ indoctrination, ‘Liberal’ subversion and the international ‘Liberal’ conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.”
Since the ‘sap and impurify’ motif really seems to be at the heart of the matter, why not go directly to the source ?
Just trying to help.
