And dismiss the fact that half the country has concerns that differ from ours...and quickly alienate them at each and every turn...refusing to ever work with them, galvanizing their hatred of us for our high handed arrogance.

Sounds like someone else to me. Sounds like a surefire ticket to having no policies past and serving only 1 term as well.

Or... maybe the Big Tent party should have a thinking approach to politics where we try and draw people in and show them how our policies benefit them...but I guess that won't be possible if we spend all our time spitting in their faces and yelling at them, calling them names, and telling them how filthy they are and that we would never ever ever work with them in any way because we don't want to be tainted. Damn reality...damn getting things done...just as long as we can say we never accepted a vote or support from anyone across the isle. That's zealotry in it's highest form.

No thanks, I'm going to try and remember that we have a WHOLE country to worry about...not just 10% of the extreme. A president isn't supposed to just give a damn about 1/2 the country. That's the problem we have now. We need to have a larger vision.
