Azazello1313 Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 interesting guy...been reading his blog for quite a while. here's an interview with him: RCP: What is it about Barbara Boxer that made you want to run against her? Kaus: I don't have any particular beef with Barbara Boxer. My beef is with the official Democratic doctrine that anybody who reaches Boxer's position has to spout and has to endorse. She's sort of a state of the art Democratic senator and that's a problem. The state of the art Democratic party has some positions that depart from common sense and also undermine, in practice, the ideals that the party stands for. I certainly support Boxer's efforts on healthcare reform, but as a state of the art Democrat she has to endorse comprehensive immigration reform, which I think is a very misguided idea. She has to support card check because of the power of the labor unions within the party. I think that's another very very bad idea. There are a lot of Democrats who I call common sense Democrats who agree with me on those and other important issues. I want to find out how many of them there are. I think there is a substantial minority within the party and a majority within the overall electorate. I want to try to give those people a voice.
