re: #697 PT Barnum

The left likes to argue with itself a lot. The right abhors deviation from its preconceived notions.

Better to point out the problems in your own party and figure out how to fix them, then to ignore them and let them run roughshod over everyone else. Moderate Republicans have sat on their hands while their most wacky have taken over. The moment Mike Steele apologized to Rush Limbaugh, I realized how much trouble the Republican party was facing.
