So Moveon.org and the left have George Soros. The Tea Party has the Kochs. So?
Too bad nothing came of my resume that I sent in to Koch Industries when I got out of college. Had I known what fine, liberty loving folks they were, I might have pursued it a little harder.
Nice display of willful ignorance of political philosophy, however. I imagine that Rich's definition of "mainstream conservatism" is nothing but "government lite" or the typical RINO view of "more government, but just not as much as the Dems". Sort of like the mainstream media notion that "bipartisanship" means Republicans caving to Democrat demands. In the end, the "mainstream conservative" agrees to the bank bailouts, government takeover of auto companies, shake downs of BP, printing TRILLIONS of dollars under the name of "stimulus" and views the elites inhabiting government as being of superior wisdom and virtue to tell others how to live their lives. That's rich.
I'm Ed Thompson, and I approve this message.
