In the Grand Old Party, we see moral standards as necessary but humbling measures of our imperfections, revealing how far and how often we fall short. The principled perfection of the left, however, requires little such humility.
Brown's Facebook page is noteworthy because it demonstrates the tensions in his campaign -- between his moderate rhetoric and his right-wing affiliations, between his claim to be independent of the Republican party and his deep connection to the GOP.
The Hagan/McCain legislation falls short of its potential and should be rejected and replaced by a fairer, more equitable bill that truly begins to rebalance this country.

According to Gingrich and Santorum, expressing sympathy for minorities is akin to racism -- a mind boggling leap of logic only possible in today's Republican party.

Are you pregnant? Feeling sick? Have a fever? Itching from a rash? Swelling of various body parts? The Republican Party wants to be your doctor. This is the place to get your state-ordered Gardasil shots and mandated pre-abortion ultrasounds.
So Democrats may have to come up with a new narrative. They can not flourish by promising to be the party that raises taxes and makes cuts to popular programs, even if they succeed in inheriting the Republican's former mantle as the party of fiscal responsibility.
