David Brooks explaining on PBS, why the lack of this attitude by Tea Party conservatives has made ‘people’ anti conservative.
Mr. Brooks knows better than those votes what was wanted.
Doesn’t anyone over there yet realize that the idea of ‘we’ll go along because we believe in the greater good‘ has not achieved the greater good since AT LEAST the late 70′s?
HALF A CENTURY?
And that those who represent the so called greater good are like Mr. Cantor, who upon getting kicked out of congress immediately entered a multimillion dollar job on Wall street?
Or that the so called greater good has resulted in a House which will not report out any bill the senate minority can block, thus ceding leadership to PRECISELY those who will NEVER go along to get along?
If the Republican party splits and we get Hillary, WATCH THE NEXT ELECTION CYCLES CAREFULLY.
John Charles Fremont may have given us a James Buchanan, but what came after?

“OK, we’ll go along because we believe in the greater good”
David Brooks explaining on PBS, why the lack of this attitude by Tea Party conservatives has made ‘people’ anti conservative.
“It’s not that they don’t believe in the Democratic president. They don’t believe in the democratic process. There’s a way you do elections. You have an argument. You have candidates. You evaluate the candidates. You have a vote, and the majority wins, and the minority says, ‘Well, we didn’t get the majority, but, OK, we’ll go along because we believe in the greater good.’This then gets REALLY GOOD.
And there’s been a set of institutional practices that have been built up within that institution, and they’re just not playing by those rules. And so, as has been true of the Tea Party for a long time, they’re really good at destruction, they’re not so good at construction. And this is — to me, it’s deep. This has been a party, and particularly our entire political system, that has lost the art of deliberative argument and then coming to…conclusions.I read this from the POLITICAL CLASS, of which Mr Brooks is certainly a member, and I see the END of the two party system we have now, specifically because people like Mr. Brooks INSIST what the people themselves demanded and has failed is not what the people wanted when they voted.
Mr. Brooks knows better than those votes what was wanted.
