“I don’t like her politics, but she is more misguided than evil.”
I simply cannot accept this excuse anymore. Pleading ignorance after you have been in Washington for how many years? 30 or 40? To paraphrase Daniel Hanan (UK conservative): We know what’s going on, and we know that you know that what’s going on, and you know that we know that too. So this is all a charade. Cokie knows what the Constitution actually means, she understands basic economic concepts such as the Laffer curve.
The msm is simply trying to fool the fools. They will flatter the fools and 0bamabots while they dismiss the conservatives. Intelligent conservatives are characterized as mean spirited and popular conservatives are just plain dumb. If they can’t fool you, they will try to seduce you. Getting a conservative to say that a Leftist is a “nice” person is the first step.
I think that a conservative can still be friends with a left leaning person. But we must draw the line when it comes to befriending committed Leftists with real power.
