Ezra Klein Finds an Honest Republican 0
Excerpt:
A few examples, back in October 2010, Major Garrett of “The National Journal” sat down with McConnell to talk about what Republicans would do if they took back Congress in the fall. McConnell didn`t Garrett he wanted compromise or a new tone or a renewed spirit of cooperation and partnership or any of the warm and fluffy things you tend to hear politicians say.
No, he told Garrett, quote, “The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president.” Ouch.
So partisan, sure, but honest. If that would have been all you knew about the Republican Party, you could have predicted the last two years in Congress almost perfectly.
