Prostates and Prejudices

By PAUL KRUGMAN

Paul Krugman, whose writing is some of the most loathsome and idiotic
in the MSM, should write about things he knows about like economics
and stats and leave it at that. This column about health care is
simply a description of "politics as usual" in a presidential race.
But here's a column from the last presidential race that shows how
idiotic and anti-democratic this champion of human rights really is.
(And there are many more where this gem came from.) Read it and
laugh:

Who's Nader Now?
By PAUL KRUGMAN

Published: January 2, 2004

In the 2000 election, in a campaign that seemed driven more by vanity
than by any realistic political vision, Ralph Nader did all he could
to undermine Al Gore - even though Mr. Gore, however unsatisfying to
the Naderites, was clearly a better choice than the current occupant
of the White House.

Now the Democratic Party has its own internal spoilers: candidates
lagging far behind in the race for the nomination who seem more
interested in tearing down Howard Dean than in defeating George Bush.

The truth - which one hopes voters will remember, whoever gets the
nomination - is that the leading Democratic contenders share a lot of
common ground. Their domestic policy proposals are similar, and very
different from those of Mr. Bush.
etc.

....um...he's right, generally speaking...and, at the time of writing
this, Dean was the front runner. Are you criticizing him for not
being able to predict the future or for bringing up the fact that our
political culture works against actual progress and there is a lot of
useless negativity going on which detracts from the real issues?
