Democrats are like an infection
by digby
Now this is a huge surprise:
There was a moment, during the Bush years, when frustrated libertarians thought they could form new coalitions with whatever party was in power. And now they're forming coalitions with the GOP. But, wow, did the alliance with Democrats ever collapse quickly. I asked Angle supporter Andrew Rothbart, who was very concerned about sound money, whether he thought the Senate was losing anything by losing a Democrat who opposed the Patriot Act and TARP.
"No, it's a good thing," he said. He held out his arm and pointed to an imaginary wound. "That 'D' is like an infection. You need to get rid of it."
If you want to know what the Tea Party really cares about, there you have it. And it isn't TARP or even Obamacare.
I wonder if it's better to be seen as an infection or a disease? I guess it doesn't matter since it's all basically a simple matter of "getting rid of it"
