While I believe that Sidney Blumenthal is an excellent commentator, it is incredulous to me that he thinks that Prescott Bush was a moderate Republican, when it's been established over and over that that man financed the Nazis. I also find it incredulous that he thinks that the moderate, principled Republicans are now gone from the party due to Bush's recklessness. The Republicans have been purging moderates themselves from their own party for the past three decades. And without Junior's help they've been pursuing policies that are unintelligent, illogical, arrogant and harmful.
The Republicans have destroyed themselves through their own hubris, and I believe that even if they had found someone who gave all appearances of being intelligent and responsible for the highest office in the nation, most citizens of this country would still have seen the worthlessness of Republican policies. With Junior in charge, we're seeing it sooner when we still might have a chance to avert the disasters that await us if this man and his cabal remain in power and their policies take full, undiluted effect.
