It is important to peruse that list and pick out those categories that the republican establishment in lockstep with the chamber of commerce is silently supporting.

1. Immigration, certainly. One can argue about their motives — I believe it’s to promote the serfing of America — but one cannot deny the reality. Big Politics and Big Business wants millions of low cost workers.

2. Obamacare. This is an area in which the gop establishment has also gone silent. Why? In their heart of hearts they want this put on the government. That doesn’t mean businesses necessarily should fund health care — I don’t think they should unless they want to — but that does not mean it should be shoved off on government. What about individual responsibility as a plan?

3. Environment. My sense is that our gop establishment is worried about the seas rising and the polar caps melting. I thought they would be smarter than to buy junk science, but it’s more important to follow the money with these characters. In their case James Carville’s line is true: “If you drag a $100 bill through a trailer park..” they’ll be all over it.
