These pitches are often disturbingly close to reality. What happened to Turley? He’s really lost his mind over the last 15 years or so...

nothing happened. he's always privately believed this shit, & as the post-1980, reagan --> gingrich order hardened, there became less imperative to conceal his true beliefs in public.

This is true. If you engage with Republicans long enough for them to be honest, you'll realize that *ALL* of them - even the self-professed "moderates" who claim to dislike Trump (but not enough to criticize him out loud) - absolutely *HATE* the idea that "everybody gets to vote".

Perhaps so. Guess I share Olbermann’s perplexity at his change of heart/mind from back in the days when he seemed like a fairly sensible “conservative” legal scholar. www.youtube.com/watch?v=XA3A...

Ugh, those two. Hume is an insufferable crank (kind of an even grumpier, dimestore version of George Will) and Stossel is one of those insufferable libertarian types who are, as much as anything, just contrarians.

The entire GOP is nothing more than contrarian teenagers.

Oh Dear God - that's the *best* of 'em. The stank-assed cult only gets worse from there.

Half these people were always like this and were holding back. The other half sees the grift and knows being a right wing ass will get them more clicks and notoriety.
