What IS "movement conservatism"?
by spreadsheet

These oblivious jokers - the "movement", not the regime - tried one big-assed fling with radical-liberalism, with George's Iraq Debacle. Then..they swung clear over into Fascism, with the GOP's "Medicare part 'D". And now....they're spinning full-fledged populism, with their opposition to their George's rescue plan.

Is there any wonder why Gopism and Reaganism are crashing on the rocks? Could it be that this movement is utterly adrift?

I don't know if you're correct with your bullet points, but I can tell you this much; this year, it's not the dems "eatinjg their own," it's the republicans.

Damn rights, Nestor. And, the Democrats have stood aside and watched this happen since right after the 2004 elections. In that regard, I give most credit to the DNC's Chairman, Gov./Dr. Dean.

Same as "movement liberalism"

it's an ideology thingy of illusionary grandeur

"Movement Conservatism" is a compliment to the last

30 years of gopism. It hints that they've had a hint of cohesion in terms of direction and ideology. If I'm wrong...well, smack me upside the head. Maybe then....all of this has been a Ronnalraygun/Dick-George-Rovia­n allusion!

Reagan understood that our freedom depends on limiting federal power. He understood that often the government is the problem not the solution. We would not be in the mess we are in now if congress would have cooperated with spending cuts.

Mr. Bush is the opposite of Reagan. The conservative wing of the republican party are the minority. They fought many of Mr. Bush's proposals. Not hard enough. You guys need to get your knives out for Mike Pence.

Why did Obama pick a VP who voted for the invasion?
