Eric Martin at Obsidian Wings, notes the recent story of Walmart warning its managers of problems should the Democrats get power. The boxstore could be forced--gasp--to allow unions or even possibly pay a living wage.

Yes, by all means, let's make sure that Walmart has a free hand. What could go wrong?

More on the Bush policy of misgoverning America:

His administration immediately abandoned the modern techniques of governing developed and used by both Democratic and Republican presidents in the years after the end of World War II. What distinguished the Bush presidency was the small, insulated White House clique that made critical policy choices without using either sound information or outside advice to guide decisions. Bad policies continued despite overriding evidence of failure and made disastrous outcomes a near certainty.

The Bush presidency will go down as providing by far the poorest quality of governance in the modern period of big government that began with Franklin Roosevelt. Sound management, however, is not associated with political party or orientation. Conservative Republican Dwight Eisenhower ranks as far ahead of other postwar presidents in managerial capability as Bush is behind.

Just another example of what we are talking about. Conservatives don't have to be against good governing, and the fact that so many right winger are shows how irresponsible they are. It is amazing that we have a major Party that essentially wishes for our government to fail in its basic tasks.
