Just Saying

++David Atkins is editing Washington Monthly today as Ed Kilgore is tending to his mother's funeral. If you think my musings at lunch are off the wall,check out Atkins' analysis of the latest Gallup polls on social issues, which demonstrate America has moved way away from the GOP social conservatism. Both independents and Democrats are way beyond various prohibitions against same sex marriage, relationships, divorce, stem cell research,abortion, marijuana and the like. Even self-identified Republicans are moving also. 

++Atkins also has another post about the GOP's total lack of policies on major issues and how they are in a box even on things like the ACA. Even Rand Paul can't say whether he would eliminate the Kentucky exchange. That's why Atkins believes they have to continue down the road to #Benghazi because they have come up empty.

++Lastly, Atkins deals with the strange Rove attack on Hillary as "old". Remember these attacks are on FOX News,whose demographic is older than I am. He replays the clip of Reagan saying he wouldn't bring up age and inexperience for political gain against Walter Mondale and wonders why the GOP think they can use age against Hillary. Perhaps, they don't have any policy objections.
