What To Think Of Kevin Drum

by Smitty He ends his Mother Jones piece on abortion with: So don’t tell me that all the conservative Christians in DesJarlais’ district believe that abortion is murder. They may say they believe it. They may even sincerely think they believe it. But they don’t. I wouldn’t want to get all arrogant and presume to […]

Jay Cost, At Least, Agrees With Me

by Smitty Emphasis mine: What, then, is the best response for the GOP? It is simply this: The party must wrap itself unabashedly in the garb of reform.
