And Dean isn’t the only one noticing this change. In an article dated last Wednesday (7/23/08), Paul Craig Roberts, another “old school” conservative, former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, Associate Editor of the Wall Street Journal editorial page, and a Contributing Editor to the National Review also wrote that the Republican Party was now the worst enemy of American values. And I consider myself to be among them. Please read my own “Confessions of a Goldwater Republican.” [...] [...] I wrote yesterday about the “win by any means” archetype, which unfortunately includes lawyers, politicians, cops, military members, and criminals.
