zero sum

[BT]

It?s interesting that Huckabee et al. are still seeing the Tea Party folks in a zero-sum power-struggle with the right, rather than as an attempt to make common cause for the small government stuff upon which the social right and the libertarians and the pro-biz folks all agree. Seems as if the penny hasn?t quite dropped that a whole bunch of us are as worried about a nanny state for the soul as we are about a nanny state for the body, but that we?d happily defer a debate on the former for action against the latter.

It's interesting, but not surprising. Huckabee has never liked the libertarians, and he echos the thoughts of all the folks who booed when Ron Paul was announced the winner of the CPAC straw poll, or who think the libertarians would ruin the Republican party with their crazy ideas about liberty.
