The real stain comes with the question of just why is it exactly that the Establishment GOP turns out to be all thumbs all of the time?
Appointing liberals to the Supreme Court as did Gerald Ford (John Paul Stevens), Richard Nixon (Roe v. Wade’s Harry Blackmun), Dwight Eisenhower (Earl Warren and William Brennan). Or voting for them in the U.S. Senate — as Lindsey Graham used his GOP Senate vote from South Carolina to support left-wingers Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor. This when not busy losing presidential elections or just supinely managing the country leftward in the name of being, in Mr. Sununu’s words, “adults.”
I find it amusing that persons of renown like Governor Sununu have the gall to assume they are the adults in any room when it is they who are still attached to the umbilicial cord; the one that emanates from DC and so easily buys off those willing to trade first principles for the passing illision of power or influence.
These are people who do not look to plant trees in whose shade they know they will never sit.
That is a very shallow worldview. It is a view that has placed us firmly where we are today; on a downward slope where people who can see farther than four years into the future are attacked and insulted for being more interested in what they can leave to posterity than in whom the historians will claim should get credit.
