RB, if the Republicans go back to "just leave people alone and let them do their thing" they'll do just fine. They went off the rails when they went holy and when they started to believe they could use govt to force all the results they like. Can't be done. Dems think it can, and they're more resistant to disproof of that point than the Repubs (or maybe I'm wrong about that, they might both be resistant because it's just a political disease). But when they rediscover Hayek (if ever they knew him to begin with) they'll start cohering again. In the auction of govt-sponsored goodies it's suicidal to try competing with the professionals.
