William Kristol's Comments [View All]

[erpowers]

I am reading Michael Lind's book "Up From Conservatism". In it Lind quotes William Kristol. Kristol is quoted as saying, "In the last couple of weeks, there's been to much psuedo-populism, almost too much conern and attention for, quote, the people... After all, we conservatives are on the side of the lards and barons.. We at the Weekly Standard are pulling up the drawbridge against the peasants".

I have heard about Kristol's comments about how the liberal media was never really strong. However, I had not heard that he just came out and said that the Republican Party was the party of the rich. First, how does he get away with saying stuff like this. Second, why don't liberals point this out. Since the Republicans continuely claim that the Democratic party is the party of the elites. The Democrats should point out that the conservatives have admitted to being for the rich.
