Discernment and maturity, Lefroy? Isn’t yours the intellectual movement that brought us Dan Quayle?

It’s a fact that Roger Kimball is a master of the ad hominem attack, bringing up Obama’s middle name, for example, as a reason to suspect the man.

And Terry, I think it’s right on point to push back on the question of associations, if folks like Roger Kimball think they should decide presidential elections. So, Roger and Co., what is your candidate doing with insane Nixon-era apparatchiks and mob bosses? More than sitting on a board, I’d say. But then, that’s not, in my view, a good reason to vote against John McCain. I’d be open to voting for him, in fact, if his two major legislative
“accomplishments” (McCain/Feingold, McCain/Kennedy) weren’t such messes that they forced him to alter or abandon the positions he advocated while stumping for the original legislation.
