It's our side that's perfected the circular firing squad over the last 12 years or so.
And the GOP would rather fight the teaparty than stand up to the rats
It doesn't look very "circular" to me. Pretty simple dividing lines -- do you buy into the concept of government-controlled health care? Do you buy into the concept of some government "right" to punish people for exercising their freedom making the moral choice to turn away -- or not turn away, their choice -- from open homosexuality? Do you buy into the neccessity for EPA iron-fisted oversight of commerce, energy, food production, in the name of "saving the planet"?
Any "Republican" who buys into any of those concepts and hopes to shape it "Republican," is on one side, the side I'm aiming at. There's not a lot of "circular" going on. You either "get" the premise of limited government conservative, or you don't.
