"If we've learned anything from this campaign, it is the supreme overarching importance to Republicans of tax reduction. The current proposal is to make permanent the Bush tax cuts of 2001 and 2003, and then go further with an additional cut to a maximum top rate of 28%.
"Of course, George W. Bush cut taxes while mounting a very aggressive foreign policy. But here's the difference: over the past five years, the Republicans voting base of older voters has suddenly become acutely conscious that today's deficit implies tomorrow's tax increase."Mr. Frum knows damn well that what he is saying is just bullshit. That when he says:

"...over the past five years, the Republicans voting base of older voters has suddenly become acutely conscious that today's deficit..."What he means is:
"...since the black Democrat took the oath of office, the salivating wingnut mob has suddenly become acutely aware that "deficits" are a thing they can use to beat up on the Kenyan Usurper..."Mr. Frum knows full well that the average GOP base voter never gave a shit "deficits" before Barack Obama because president any more than they gave a shit about the crippling Reagan/Bush deficits until Bill Clinton was sworn in.
He also knows that once a President Romney starts a few wars, screws the middle class a little more and fucks over a few million poor people, the lumpen Base will crawl right back into their Fox News comas until the next time another bogeyman needs to be attacked.

'Obsessed' and 'intense' are words used by lazy people to describe the dedicated and the passionate.
They are also the words that I am sick up and fed with being called by some of my fellow 'Murr'kins just because I give a shit about politics and the election. Jesus Christ, the look of horror some people get on their face when you bring it up, like you just committed some horrendous faux pas! This is why it's so easy for the Pig People to do their terrible thing: They have no shame about spreading their message, and once they're done shitting it all out nobody wants to hear about anything else - anything else true, especially, because 'Murr'kins HATE actual truths.
They are saturating what little "market" there is for political discourse in this country with warm, steamy, Conservative BULLSHIT.
Ah, G. Gordon Liddy.
The man who once instructed listeners to his radio show that when the ATF agents came to "take their guns", to shoot the agents in the head, not the chest, because they are likely wearing body armor.
David Frum looks like he's having a blast, too.
Because both sides do it...
