Metamorphosis 2
From the San Francisco Chronicle, one of the recommended retoolings for the Republicans:
Shorter version: Become Democrats.
Ain’t gonna happen. At least no time soon.
Retooling the message means retooling the party; otherwise, you get something like “compassionate conservatism,” an empty phrase, a sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal, signifying nothing.
The party base is too deeply invested in the hatin’ and party poobahs are too deeply beholdin’ to wingnut welfare.
