jamiroguy1 Posted December 4 Report Share Posted December 4 The angry right Those of you out there that consider yourselves conservatives; you're not just conservatives, but angry conservatives. In an op-ed in last Sunday's (April 23, 2002) New York Times, Paul Krugman wrote about the similarities between Jean-Marie Le Pen's upset victory in France, and the Bush-Gore election of 2000. Here's what he says:"A slightly left-of-center candidate runs for president. In a rational world he would win easily...But everything goes wrong. His moderation becomes a liability; denouncing the candidate's pro-market stance, left-wing candidates-who have no chance of winning, but are engaged in politics as theatre- draw off crucial support...Above all, there is apathy and complacency among moderates; they take it for granted that he will win, or that in any case the election will make little difference."So folks, if you consider yourself a conservative, be aware that you are a "deeply angry" person. Krugman says that if "all this sounds like a post-mortem on the Gore campaign in 2000, that's intentional. But I'm actually describing Sunday's shocking election in France..." So this guy is comparing George W. Bush's victory to the victory of this so-called "rabid rightist." Now President Bush is certainly conservative, but rabid rightist? I think not. Hell, I'm not a "rabid rightist" and you don't get much more conservative than me. And as for Lionel Jospin being "slightly lef-of-center." Jospin is a socialist. And trust me, socialism is waaaay left of center. But, believe it or not, Krugman wasn't finished with his enlightening commentary.
