A Principled Suicide

Kathleen Parker: “Republicans seem to be adopting the self-immolation tactics of principled martyrs. Of course, principled or not, you’re still dead in the end.”

“Before you can govern, you have to win. And before you can win, you have to offer something people want to buy. What Republicans are selling appeals to an ever-diminishing market that doesn’t even include their erstwhile allies in business and industry. And their self-immolation may prove to have been nothing more than a bonfire of vanities.”
