“The other sometimes runs the wrong way, sometimes it doesnt, “
You really believe that the Republican Party has EVER run the right way in your lifetime? I don’t, and I look forward to it’s permanent replacement.
Running the right way all the time would mean them throwing FDR’s legacy of high handed lawlessness (and everything built on it) in the trash where it belongs.
Or AT LEAST telling the American people right out that they have not been governed by the Constitution, that FDR was a scumbag and “Mr No Repeal” Eisenhower ran on not honoring his oath of office, and present them with specific amendments to make aspects of that lawlessness legal ... and whatever fails goes away.
So “run” was probably too strong a word for when they move in the right direction, but they do occasionally move in the right direction (the Contract With America was one such time, and even THEN the so-called moderates had managed to derail the RNC within a few short years even without a Jumin’Jim Jeffords ... see “Not So Radical Republicans”, Reason, 1998: http://reason.com/archives/1998/07/01/not-so-radical-republicans ).
Fact is, the RNC doesn’t run anywhere. It’s laziness, that it ambles along, is a large part of both it’s uselessness.
