McCotter gets it.
Thaddeus McCotter, one of the few thinkers in either party in DC, said today:
We ran into the bailout. The bailout touched upon the larger discussion in the Republican Party. It's not the conservatives versus the moderates, that's the rather cliched way of looking at it. What you really have are globalists versus traditionalists. Globalists tend to view America as an economy, not a country. The traditionalists tend to view it as a country — a very delicate microcosm, a collection of individuals with different hopes, dreams, aspirations.
McCotter sometimes gets carried away with his vast vocabulary and literary allusions, but this is plain speaking and plain truth.
Will anyone else in DC catch on? Nope. ¶ 2:22 PM
