No, I think we are seeing something genuinely and radically new here. Even George W. Bush had to pretend to be a "compassionate" conservative. Not these guys. Here we have a in-your-face Galt/Gekko ticket as Paul Krugman aptly puts it. The US public knows *exactly* what they can expect to get from this gang. There is no pretense, no attempt to be subtle or sneaky. This has the potential to be Goldwater 2.0. It also has the potential to be the beginning of something very scary.. -raghu. _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
