I agree with Krugman's assessment of the so called "conservative" Democrats recently elected to Congress...in the NYTs today.
These so called conservative Democrats could be more trouble for Wall Street Republicans than garden variety east coast liberals...
What the Republicans are facing is much much worst than merely a Democratic Congress...
The Republicans are facing a COLLAPSE OF THE WEDGE ISSUE POLITICS that has been the center peice of Rove's Republican Dynasty...
Many "ordinary Republicans"...the so called rural and exurban, non-rich Bubba Republians have finally wised up...!
Many Bubba Republicans now realize that the entire Gay/Feminist/Religious ploy by Republicans was a fake! And that they were taken for a ride by the Wall Street branch of the Republican Party...
These conservative Democrats are not big free traders...and are not for tax cuts for Billionaires and cutting back on Social Security and Medicare to pay for it...
AS LONG AS THE REPUBLICANS COULD CONVINCE THEIR "BASE" THAT POLITICS WAS ALL ABOUT HOMOS AND ABORTION...THE REPUBLICANS WERE IN POWER...
BUT NOW THERE IS A VERY REAL POSSIBILITY THAT THE TRUE NATURE OF THE POLITICAL PROCESS WILL BE REVEALED TO THE BUBBA REPUBLICANS... TO WIT: IT'S ALL ABOUT ECONOMICS AND CLASS!
JESUS DOESN'T TALK ABOUT SENDING JOBS TO CHINA AND GUTTING THE SOCIAL SAFETY NET...BUT THE REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP DOES...OR AT LEAST THEY USED TO...
REPUBLICANS SHOULD TAKE NO COMFORT IN THESE SO CALLED "CONSERVATIVE DEMOCRATS" NEWLY IN WASHINGTON... BECAUSE NOW THE JIG IS UP ON THEIR KEY "WEDGE ISSUES."
