republicans

the party of ignorance, intolerance, jingoism, and general retardedness is finally fading, but krugman is right: a lot of people haven't figured that out yet---hell, a lot of republicans would deny everything he says

The fault, however, lies not in Republicans’ stars but in themselves. Forty years ago the G.O.P. decided, in effect, to make itself the party of racial backlash. And everything that has happened in recent years, from the choice of Mr. Bush as the party’s champion, to the Bush administration’s pervasive incompetence, to the party’s shrinking base, is a consequence of that decision.
