In keeping with my personal plea/essay I posted an hour or so ago, I find Andrew Sullivan echoing the same sentiment on last night's Colbert Report. When Colbert asks him if there should be a “civil war” within the Republican party, he replies: “I hope so. I want conservatism to revive. I want it to be connected to reality, to what’s going on in the world, to the changing demographics of the society, the changing nature of the society and come up with constructive proposals to help solve our problems. I want the Republican Party to make ObamaCare better rather than actually just abolish it. I want the Republican Party to accept that climate change is happening, for goodness sake. And I don’t think they’ve been open to persuasion so far, but I think the one thing they understand is losing." http://shar.es/GgWI8
