Read an article by George Will this morning. Interesting. He was bringing it to the R candidates, but also to the lefties. Seemed moderate. Is he, or is he Tea Party material? Just curious.

I'm a moderate Democrat. Sometimes I agree with Will and sometimes I don't. It just depends on the issue.

His anchoring credibility is that he enjoyed baseball a lot.

If he hasn't turned to soccer, he's not communist.

I'd have to see what his thoughts were on George Bush, Cheney, Rove, Rice and Colin Powell before I could determine if he's American or not.

And what would be an American, by your estimation?

Will is not a shill for the Republican Party. He has a strong libertarian streak.

He doesn't seem to have explored much of the outer areas of his brain.

His controlled reality may just be too organized to accommodate, let alone speak of, 90% of the reality around him.

George Will - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

He missed the summer of love, and those events only come around every 26,000 years.

Don't know if he's a RINO, but I doubt he could win the GOP nomination. He's too reasonable for the base of today's Republican Party.

He'd be pilloried by the Republican Party, and asked to broaden his mind by the Libertarian Party.

The Liberal Party would have him assassinated.

He is what used to be called a Republican before the blathering fascists took over the party.
