In a “discussion” with a “moderate” conservative on Politico. He got a little bent with me when I called the GOP the American Taliban, as I’m wont to do.

He told me that he votes Republican because they’re strong on economic issues, national security and foreign policy, and the religious crap like school prayer and banning abortion aren’t issues for him.

Strong on economic issues, national security and foreign policy? You mean like the 2008 financial meltdown, 9/11, and the 2nd Iraq war?

I really hate to see what this guy’s idea of failure is, if that’s how he measures success.
