"Does the GOP, the party of Tom Delay and The K Street project, strike you as good on these issues? Has the Tea Party, which rebelled against that establishment, been any better in choosing its champions? In Rand Paul, the answer is yes, but its presidential favorites aren’t by and large aren’t reformers. As someone disgusted by the Obama Administration’s civil liberties violations, against its approach to health care, and critical of its auto bailout, coziness with Wall Street, payoff of health care industry interests, green jobs nonsense, and mythical shovel ready projects, I wish there were an opposition party credibly making the part of the Ryan critique I excerpted. But so far the GOP isn’t credible on anything other than a commitment to tax cuts, more often than not for the most politically connected parts of the investor class. That means that even Ryan’s deficit hawk appeal is mostly offset by the dearth of results, lack of proposals that could actually pass, and refusal to put solvency ahead of tax cut orthodoxy."
Whoever this is just put into words every thought and feeling ive had about politics/current events in the last 3 or so years
