Former Bush speechwriter Michael Gerson writes:

[Karl] Rove argues that Republicans win as activist reformers, in the tradition of Lincoln, McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt. "We were founded as a reformist party," he said in our conversation this week, "not to be against something, but to help the little guy get ahead."[bold added]

Hilarious. The real question is does Gerson actually believe this BS? Perhaps in Teddy Roosevelt's day the Republican Party cared about "the little guy," but the modern day GOP could give two sh*ts. The rich guy, big or small, is who they cater to, absolutely.

Just how removed are these folks in their thinking? Yeah, and Michael Vick cares much for dogs.
