New York Times columnist David Brooks debated Republican Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) at an American Enterprise Institute forum Thursday and, amid a large degree of back-patting, the writer came to the conclusion that the GOP, in its current legislative form, is exhibiting a sort of obstinate "rigidity" that is damaging to the political process.
This is Republican vs. Republican!!! This is the type of Republican I respect because he doesn't have to and usually chooses not to, demonize Democrats in order to make his points.
