Quote of the Day

"To Senator McCain, congratulations. But he has not got this thing wrapped up by any stretch. It’s less than a year since he tried to push a disastrous immigration bill into law — one as manipulative as any pork-laden appropriations bill — with vigorous opposition from talk radio, conservative bloggers, think tanks, and the grassroots. I don’t see how such a man wins the Republican nomination. I’m second to none in praising him on his surge leadership. But on a whole host of issues — including water boarding, tax cuts, and the freedom of speech — he’s not one of us."

It is amazing that xenophobia and a Spanish Inquisition torture technique are core Republican values. Conservatives wonder why progressives believe the Right lacks empathy. Articles such as Lopez's are classic example of heartlessness.
