Not For The People, Not By The People

So I guess I'm on an Op-Ed kick today but this one from the NY Times points out how much of a disconnect exists between the conservatives in power and the will of the people. Honestly, this write up by Paul Krugman is much better reading than our last post on the op-ed piece by Frank Rich. Most importantly, Krugman reiterates that "Mr. Bush and his party talk only to their base - corporate interests and the religious right - and are oblivious to everyone else's concerns." This is a simple fact that isn't apparent to everyone in this country.
