It’s not even a dog whistle. He picked up the ref’s whistle. He either believes that’s politically safe in SC, or he’s just a moron.

The GOP really, really needs to draw a very firm line in the sand, right now, or the party is going to become a regional party of nativists, and nothing more.

If the Democrats are not kept in check by an honest opposition, we’re not going to make any progress. Cap-and-trade is a good example: most of the Democrat’s proposals for cap-and-trade are flawed and will do little, if any good. But they are not being criticized one those grounds; instead, the GOP is engaging in pure AGW-denial.

We need a strong GOP that’s firmly based in reality, not a populist bunch of shouty cynical politicians playing to a nativist, anti-science base.
