Re: Thomas Frank op-ed piece

["Max B. Sawicky" <sawicky@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

L:  Nader's only about 30 percent of the way there,
though he's trying hard.  The template is
absolutely anti-abortion, anti-gun control,
anti-gay marriage, etc.  Nader appears at best
lukewarm or agnostic in dimensions like these
from a cultural-conservative standpoint.  He's
still in granola-land.

JD: I think Clinton himself was good at coopting
and discombobulating the GOP on the culture side.
Kerry seems not so nimble, nor so inclined

Y:  The change you allude to seems likely to take
way too long a time.

nb "Cultural conservative" I think is very unsatisfactory
terminology in this context, but I don't have any better
at the moment.

Culturally conservative and economically progressive? That sounds like Ralph
Nader. Camejo, of course, is another matter entirely...
