No go. Just some corporate liberals trying to figure out what corporate conservatives have for ideology. Ayn Rand, as an ideology, failed with Alan Greenspan.

But, maybe I am wrong. I saw Eric Canter on this morning as the rep of the Republican party. Asked a question on imposing financial laws on Wall Street gamers he fumbled and changed the question. Looked damn serious about it too. The wall street money is just as green for the Repubs as the Dems. The Repubs could have made gains by pointing out the Dems reforms were near bogus, but then, they would have to offer something better, something that would shatter their anti-regulation cult ideology that offers them solace from have to face the fact they are only tools of their contributors.

For sure, Canter lost votes. He is the face of the Repub party? Looked like just another cog in the wheel.

I found that amusing too. The thing about Ayn Rand is throwing the baby out with the bath water. I think some people just dismiss the entirety because of some objectionable facts. The belief’s that she held about redistribution and capitalism were excellent they should have been widely promoted. I don’t see Greenspan’s action as a failure on her part that is guilt by association.
