IN 40 YEARS, NOT MUCH HAS CHANGED IN MOVEMENT CONSERVATISM

(h/t Sam Tanenhaus)

Mary Matalin's despicable comment could have been made over 40 years ago by the publisher of The National Review:
To an ideologue like Rusher, the GOP itself was now the enemy. Nixon had betrayed conservatives, operating from inside an establishment eager "to 'pay off' their minority-group allies with all sorts of cultural and economic goodies," including "posts in a burgeoning bureaucracy, admissions quotas in elite universities, welfare benefits of assorted kinds, quotas in the job market, etc."

The worst thing that hasn't changed, assuming the sincereity of those you call "movement conservatives" is their appaling inability or desire to form a third party-the same criticism can be applied to movement liberals.
