David Brooks, via atrios, goes nuts on the moral turpitude of Republican activists. It's really a good read, though it'd be nice to see more detail of the right-wing corruption machine. I think this is the tack we have to take in the morality debate. It's senseless to become social conservatives, since every voter knows who the real fundamentalists are, and will vote Republican if that's what they're after. Instead, we take the (empty) position of anti-corruption, anti-cronyism populists. And we start in Red states. I think we can do it.

We're coming for you, Senator Delay.
