"Anti-Establishment" is Just Code for Irresponsible for Governing

[JHan]

2. brilliant, thank you for sharing.

"Sometimes “establishment” leaders have to do things that don’t make sense to a general public that doesn’t really study civics all that closely on a day-to-day basis. Sometimes they have to make deals, talk to industry experts and do all the other things we otherwise would call “government,” to maintain a nation that functions day-to-day. I have a lot more respect for Russ Feingold working with John McCain to pass campaign finance reform than I do for the “DemExiter” screaming that we must have fully-publicly financed campaigns, while offering no solution for how to make that work. Governing is hard, and it sometimes puts good people in hard decisions. We would all be better off listening a bit more to the people who actually have to govern, and less to the loudest voices of people who simply demand their way, regardless of how ridiculous they sound.

sigh.
