ottopilot

Sounds like a conservative estimate. To Will and Charlatan's point, the distraction here is habitual. We are poised and ready to engage in political battle over a few trees when an ominous forest surrounds us. The constant partisanship distracts us from drilling down into what we should be paying attention to. If we believe these distractions are intentional, then by whom... and to what end? ...perhaps questions for another thread.

To your point... there are probably a very small number of conservatives that truly want the country to fail. Probably proportional to the number of liberals that want to impose a communist dictatorship. Who has the most to gain in promoting such views? The timing of such controvercy always seems suspicious when so much focus is placed on so little substance. They come and go, one after another... like songs on a fiddle whlie Rome burns.
