An interesting bit on the state of politics as we enter midterm elections
From the Economist's current issue - an opinion piece that attempts to describe what's wrong with the body politic in America today.
And, bless their pointy little heads - it's outside the subscription firewall so the opiniony goodness is available to all.
I think they've nailed it, but what do I know?

Yes they nailed an obvious
Yes they nailed an obvious point many other newspapers and magazines have pointed out.
The Republicans have betrayed and alienated their base. You can see the disgust in reader responses to any relevant Opinion Journal column.
The Democrats, on the other hand, have become the party of crazy commies, traitors, Hollywood wackos, etc... Normal middle class people can't bring themselves to vote for them.
This is the way it will be until an alternative conservative party emerges or a true purge occurs in the Republican Party. Death to the RINOs!
