I hate to say it but Sowell has been compromised or age has set in.

Bingo! He refuses to admit that the GOP establishment is just another arm of the Democrat Party. They have no problem growing the Federal Government and are not opposed to ObamaCare. They had control of the House, Senate and White House from 2001 to 2007. Did they reduce the size and scope of the Federal Government? Nope. Nope. Nope.

So, simply electing Republicans does exactly nothing to turn this country around. Sowell doesn't seem to want to admit that and the lesson is that Tea Party style Republicans need to be elected and having contested primaries does not hurt the chances to win in the general election.
