I'm a sort of fan of the acerbic James Howard Kunstler, who was called by somebody the "Lenny Bruce of the New Urbanism." Not that I agree with everything he writes, especially when he gets off his main specialty of urban design and transportation policy. But in his latest post, he hits the political nail on the head, and I hope that the Democrats hit hard on the theme he raises.

I hope one or two Barack Obama campaign officials are reading this blog. You must commence the re-branding of the opposition right now. The Republicans must be clearly identified as, the party that wrecked America.
If this rebranding isn't going to be done by the campaigns, then I might suggest that we start doing it for them:
