CNN host Rick Sanchez went over a recent piece on Inglis in Mother Jones, in which Inglis talked about the crazies that he would come across on the campaign trail.Not that Inglis was any kind of progressive beacon, but these days a Republican interested in facts gets ripped apart in the primary and loses by 42 percentage points, when to win in the GOP you must practice Obama Derangement Syndrome.
Sanchez read from Inglis's recollection of a conversation with some voters: "'Bob, what don't you get? Barack Obama is a socialist, communist Marxist who wants to destroy the American economy so he can take over as dictator. Health care is part of that. And he wants to open up the Mexican border and turn [the US] into a Muslim nation.'"
Sanchez asked Inglis who these people were. And in response, Inglis conceded he might have done better politically had he humored them.
"That was several 80-year-old couples that were expressing their views. And you know, what I should have said was, 'Over my dead body that's gonna happen. I can guarantee it's not gonna happen,'" said Inglis. "That would have been the better answer, wouldn't it? Rather than the one I gave, which is, 'Well it's not quite that bad, let's keep it within the realm of facts.'"
It's the only party plank that matters, an irrational hatred of the president. Play that game and you'll end up in Congress. Try to work with the other party and pass legislation to help the American people? You lose 71-29 and your political career ends, period.
That is your 2010 Republican Party, folks. The Hoffman Effect rolls on unabated.

With each passing day you are becoming a bigger and bigger hypocrite. You act as if the liberal agenda is the only way of life, if it were so successful we wouldn't have a 2 party system. You are suffering from your own severe case of Obama Derangement Syndrome. I fear it's going to get worse as we approach election day.
87 days to go, I only hope the Dems don't do anymore damage between now and then. I wonder if the goal is 20 trillion....
(In before rehash of Bush or the pre-2k6 GOP)
It's rather a drag that Inglis thinks he should have humored those people. His original response was the correct one.
