16. Guessing that the RW power-brokers thought they had hired the brightest minds to develop this

... to develop this strategy.

The brightest boys (and a few girls) on K Street or with MBAs or super-duper xian credentials.

Either the RW is getting fleeced, or the suited consultants are true believers, or this is just a f'in stupid move. I'm sure there are other factors in play but all-in-all things stink in the pseudo-conservative, pseudo-evangelical, libertarian world.

Hope they pay for their actions and work to improve themselves. Ain't going to happen. They'll pay, and seem to have mega-stupid-mega-rich donors, but why change when the purveyors of stupidity are still raking in the dough?
