‘BTW, very disappointed with Krauthammer. Apparently he blasted Palin this evening for the O’Donnell endorsement and said to vote for Castle.’

snip:
“In 1978, Krauthammer quit medical practice to direct planning in psychiatric research for the Jimmy Carter administration, and began contributing to The New Republic magazine. During the presidential campaign of 1980, Krauthammer served as a speech writer to Vice President Walter Mondale.”

Yep, Charles lets his libtard background seep out once in a while. He really doesn’t mind “moderates” in the Republican party. I think he thinks they have a place in the hallowed Senate, whereas I do not.

Krauthammer is a brilliant man, and his opinions and analyses are worth listening to and evaluating, but it’s important to always remember that he is not on “our” side, nor the Constitution’s - he serves the Ruling Class:

“Ultimately, a civilized society must disarm its citizenry if it is to have a modicum of domestic tranquility of the kind enjoyed by sister democracies such as Canada and Britain. Given the frontier history and individualist ideology of the United States, however, this will not come easily. It certainly cannot be done radically. It will probably take one, maybe two generations. It might be 50 years before the United States gets to where Britain is today. Passing a law like the assault weapons ban is a symbolic - purely symbolic - move in that direction. Its only real justification is not to reduce crime but to desensitize the public to the regulation of weapons in preparation for their ultimate confiscation.” - Charles Krauthammer, “Disarm the Citizenry,” The Washington Post, Friday, April 5, 1996, page A19
