Entry: No, McCain Won't End Abortion Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/mccain_wont_end_abortion#21970 Post contents: That tired strategy of the "conservative" <snicker> politicans of combining social populism with political plutocracy is getting really tired and lame. Fundamentalists, who don't necessarily agree with the "libertarian" economic policies (ie, giving those that have the most, even more) are really getting a clue that they've been fooled long enough. Democrats, esepcially OBAMA, is getting hip to the Republican strategy of talking the talk, but not walking the walk--in fact running the other way---and are responding the increasing economic insecurity of the old Nixon "Silent Majority", that elected Ronald Reagan, and stuck with Bush2 until recently. We've got the "conservative" Republicans to thank for the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act, which seperated investment from commercial banking, and resulted in the rise of Citibank, and the "economic freedom" that resulted in the derivative crisis at the basis of real estate bubble, and the recent FED bailouts. Let's not forget the Iraqi War either. It's time to admit that "libertarianism" is at best utopian fantasy, and at worst, a the transparent policy of of the CEO classes that are strangling the American middle class. Get rid of the "Laissez Faire" nonsense, and let's move ahead with some hard thinking on what really needs to be done to reinvigorate the "Sonservative" right. Sent at: 2008 07 20
