Since when?

What’s tough is standing on principles you believe to be right even when doing so is unpopular. Bipartisanship is just a pleasant word for rationalizing tack-to-the-wind courses of action you actually believe to be wrong just so you can be in harmony with other people who are wrong. What’s so hard about that?

The Right’s fear of Obama is only going to get Sen. McCain so far. If he thinks he’ll get the rest of the way by impressing us with his willingness to come together with the people who caused this problem, rather than leading the case that those people’s policies caused the problem and demanding that those policies be changed, conservatives will stay home and Obama will win.
