The GOP Has Become a Party of Nihilists

Joe Klein has had it with the destructive intent of Republicans:
"How can you sustain a democracy if one of the two major political parties has been overrun by nihilists? And another question: How can you maintain the illusion of journalistic impartiality when one of the political parties has jumped the shark?"
He tells a story of his 89 year-old father and how end of life counseling would help him. It was to be free in the reform bill through Medicare, but somehow it was twisted into a "death panel" by the mental lightweights and Palin-ite cave dwellers on the right who are on a disinformation jihad.

While Democrats are not perfect and have flaws, they have not resorted to outright lies like the Republicans.
