Kevin McCarthy -next Republican at the helm ?

NPR on Kevin McCarthy    As a California politician Kevin McCarthy is a throwback to one Richard M. Nixon- who also represented-and quite nasty about it-REPUBLICAN PRINCIPLES. A winning lottery ticket gave him sufficient Kapital to start a small business. Naturally he began to think like a " petty bourgeois " - upset about Big Government stealing his hard earned profits. He may be a good LISTENER -but to whom does he listen with any respect ? Naturally the American ruling class. No Democratic or Republican politician was ever punished for conforming to the ruling ideas-which as Marx said are " the ideas of the ruling class ".
The name Kevin McCarthy recalls the actor- Kevin McCarthy- fleeing from the pod people in " The Invasion of the Body Snatchers ".
It was no accident that it was filmed during the Cold War hysteria- in which Senator Richard M. Nixon flourished and won his own political sweepstakes in sunny California. In 1968 he too promised to bring us all together, a keen listener of the Great Silent Majority- and his few ruling class campaign donors.
Cold war hysteria inspired this Nixon Era film
