Where the hell are the “new ideas”?
In his Kansas speech, Obama kept insisting that conservatives are beholden to the failed ideas of the past.Er, okay. And thatâs why you dusted off a 101-year-old speech by a failed third-party candidate? Got it. Obama talks as if raising taxes on rich people so they can pay their "fair share" is a new idea when "let's take more from that guy to pay for stuff I want" was an old idea when proto-humans were drawing stick figures on cave walls with saber-tooth-tiger scat. And yet somehow Republican politicians never turn the tables on this incandescently stupid argument. -- From Ed Driscoll » A Century of "Progress" Comes Full Circle

And yet somehow Republican politicians never turn the tables on this incandescently stupid argument.
They won't ever flip these turtles over. Republicans are like the good little boy who was chastised for opening his mouth for noticing adults are stupid. They're cowed into quietness on pain of being considered 'naughty.'

Unfortunately, your right, Peccable. But there has to also be some of the ignorance expected of the low level of Congresscritter Tocqueville predicted we'd end up with by this time.
