of course you don't agree with the assessment in the article i posted, ace. to agree with it would be to position obama as what he always really was: a centrist. conservative mythology requires that he be some Radical--it doesn't matter that the idea is patently absurd--if he wasn't framed as some Radical than this, even more ridiculous line of conservative argument wouldn't have been able to get started.
but this is no longer a debate thread: it's a conservative circle-jerk. there are many many many more interesting things in the world than the right's sad attempts to salvage itself, and the silly arguments that it throws around in a desperate attempt to locate Traction.
