Hi clo,

Agreed. I acknowledge the forces that bind. Fear being one of them.

But there are also forces that split asunder. Always are where orthodoxy stifles dissent.

Folks that fear are folks that want freedom from fear.

Seems to me the epicentre of the problem is in the Republican information complex. So that is the space to watch. Maybe Faux News will become less false one day. Or maybe some new centre-right news organisation will emerge.

Murdoch is curiously pragmatic about these things. Witness his support for a leftish party in the UK during the late 1990s and early 2000s. Losing an election will make him think a little bit.

In his shoes, I'd give voice to a thoughtful moderate Republican for an hour each night. In place of the ludicrous Hannity who belongs on talk radio. But leave Bill O in place for the right.

Hi Cactus Flower,

'and i think the forces that crack that into pieces are also at work. because not everyone believes all that stuff, even if they believe some of it.'

At this point, its about FEAR.
Fear of facing a tea party candidate in a primary.
Fear of losing donors financial support.
They are running on fear.
They are not thinking of the country.

There are many republicans that had voted FOR, that are now opposed to many issues. All fear based.

Look at their behavior yesterday, even with Senator Dole, nearly on his death bed, they opposed a bill widely supported by BOTH parties.
They are a twisted group....
