American politics at a crossroads.

[AztecWilliam]

A provocative and, I think, non-hysterical, non-doctrinaire, view of what politics in the U.S. is all about at this moment. This is the kind of honest, pretty much non-spin type of article that I find very worthwhile.

We are seeing a rapid shift to the right. 2010 will be a first step in getting the country back on an even keel.

There is always a bounce whenever one party is elected.

However, the Repubs have blown it by allowing the wing-nuts to take control of the party.

That's interesting. it's clear to me that the Democrats have ceded control of their party to wing-nuts such as Pelosi, Frank, Durban, and a list of others too long to include here.

You have admitted losing the argument when you stoop to that sort of argument. The middle America folks who really control things will show you in 2010 just how wrong you are. Liberals will never be convinced, but the Moderates are now changing their minds in droves.
