Frum: "We Have To Use Our Heads"
UPDATED: I was on CNN's Larry King Live last night to discuss the future of the GOP.
I will be on CNN's Larry King Live tonight at 9:40pm (ET) to discuss the future of the GOP. I will be joined by John Avlon, author of Winguts: How the Lunatic Fringe is Hijacking America.
UPDATE: Here's a snippet from the transcript of David Frum's Larry King Live interview:
"We're facing now the threat of the largest expansion of government since the New Deal. And if you're a conservative and a Republican, you want to restrain this.

And there is a mood of emotionalism, of reliance on pretend information that is absolutely detrimental to effective politics.
And what we're hearing right now from a lot of people are our fantasies, delusions, things that can't work. And that means -- that opens the way to an easy run for Democratic and liberal success to expand government. We saw the catastrophic result of that with passage of this health care bill. I think that is not an effective way to proceed. I'm a competitor. I want to win."
