Tom Toles, editorial cartoonist at the Washington Post neatly summarizes the mood of the electorate... or so the GOP hopes:-We are fine with the trend of an ever-greater share of the American economy going to the very richest people. We like a tax policy that encourages this trend. We don't feel that power follows wealth and so do not fear any negative consequences from this.
-We oppose any actually workable plans to rationalize the health care system in this country and feel that the long trends of ever-increasing costs for ever-shrinking coverage will fix themselves.
-We prefer more religion in government and schools and less science, and we feel this will lead to good outcomes.
-An opinion that climate science is wrong will make it be wrong.
-Deficits didn't matter before, but now they are all we can think about.
-We blame President Obama for the bad economy, but anything he does about it can only make things worse and make us blame him even more.
-We like Republicans even less than Democrats but plan to elect them in a landslide, and that this will improve things.
Did I miss anything? --Tom Toles
