The GOP has been no more ‘captured’ by the TP and the lunatic right than Labour here or in the UK was captured by Militant in the eighties. They remain a party that serves the interests of big business and the military industrial complex……just like the democrats. The left in the states and even more here in Europe is indulging is lesser evil-ism and giving itself pleasurable frissons of masturbatory horror by imagining that it has vanquished a great beast when really its just the same old other half of the same old double act.. The fantasy of the GOP transformed is the ultimate alibi for the failure of the left
to leave the lazy shelter of the Obamacrats.
