The Man Without Qualities has an interesting note up. He links a WaPo article, which in turn quotes the Folically challanged one, sayng:
“”We have to treat the disease, not the symptom,” [James] Carville said. “The purpose of a political party is to win elections, and we’re not doing that.”
…..to which Robert responds:
“Uh … Mr. Carville … the purpose of a political party is supposed to be advancing and preserving certain moral principles chosen by its members…..Its “disease” is characterized by its ongoing dominance by technocratic functionaries without moral center and those having principles shared by an isolated minority.”
Precisely.
Or, put in a way I’ve had in my right column for years, now: “What do you stand for?”
