Many People Wrote Off the GOP

after Obama's win in 2008, but they were sadly mistaken given the fact Obama is weak and too willing to work with the people from the political party of which he REALLY belongs.

Because of Obama's ineptitude and sellout of Wall Street interests, the GOP has returned from the dead.

Thomas Frank:

One of the problems with liberalism in this country is that it’s headquartered in Washington and its leaders are a very comfortable class of people. Washington is one of the richest cities in the country, maybe the richest. It’s not a place that feels the crisis, that feels the economic downturn. By and large, the real estate market stayed OK. The city continued to boom. The contracts continued to flow. What we’re talking about here is the failure of modern liberalism. At one time it was a movement of working-class people. The idea that liberals wouldn’t feel economic pain was ridiculous. That’s who liberals were. No more.

They belong to the same economic class as the GOP officials. The rich have bought off the rich politicians.
