Everyone who thinks they understand what motivates our leadership should read This Town , or at least go to the Amazon website and have a look inside.
This article is a day late and a dollar short.
If I were to tell you that there was a generic country someplace where only 7% of the people supported their national assembly, only 30-40% supported their elected leader and courts but where over 70% supported the military I think you would come to the logical conclusion that the elected government in question was not very long for this world.
So I find it odd that we spend so much time worrying about which set of people are going to, in effect, be elected to preside over the coroners inquest. Its morbid and self defeating when there are so many other more positive and important things to be concerned with. Like how does my family and my tribe prosperand maximize their liberty afterward?
Yes, and yes.
The GOP is going to split into a pro-corporate elite party and the Tea Party.
The Dems are going to split between a left-of-center party and a hard-left party. Roughly along the lines of the divide between the Clinton and Obama machines.
Of these I suspect the vestigial GOPe will finish fourth.
