76. It's funny -- I basically agreed with what you just wrote
I was simply pointing out the danger in characterizing the Republicans as the sole enemy, and that they are only a symptom of a much deeper problem.

I thought that much would have been clear from the William Greider quote I cited in my previous post. I'll put it here again in case you missed it:

If Kerry wins the White House, a disenchanted campaign strategist told me, "it will be like electing the editorial board of the New York Times: totally establishment--but a whole lot better than The Weekly Standard."

Like I said -- I may be an idealist, but I'm not stupid. I recognize the difference between the NYT editorial board and that of the Weekly Standard. But that doesn't necessarily mean that I really LIKE the NYT board, or think that it comes terribly close to representing anything other than the establishment.
