Goodbye to All That: Reflections of a GOP Operative Who Left the Cult | Truthout
Take your time..........

One of the "footnotes" to spur your interest......

Quote:

[2] I am not a supporter of Obama and object to a number of his foreign and domestic policies. But when he took office amid the greatest financial collapse in 80 years, I wanted him to succeed, so that the country I served did not fail. But already in 2009, Mitch McConnell, the Senate Republican leader, declared that his greatest legislative priority was - jobs for Americans? Rescuing the financial system? Solving the housing collapse? - no, none of those things. His top priority was to ensure that Obama should be a one-term president. Evidently Senator McConnell hates Obama more than he loves his country. Note that the mainstream media have lately been hailing McConnell as "the adult in the room," presumably because he is less visibly unstable than the Tea Party freshmen

Just another body of work telling some level of truth about teabaggery and neo-cons. in general.

McConnell is nothing but a closet teabagger.
But don't worry yourself, it's just bigotry.

I think it deserved its own thread. There is a lot more there beyond the Tea Party.

Agreed, actually.

Very honest and revealing.

As is often the case, no cogent comment from the "right", posted here.

Seems the "angry Oligarchs" have put the truthout link out of commission..........

Until it's back up..........
