Alligators In Sewers Party?

The Republican party, increasingly, is the party of urban legends: that tax cuts for the rich always pay for themselves, that government spending doesn’t create jobs, that government overregulation of banks caused the crash of 2008, that global warming is not happening. The unconstitutionality of health care reform is another of those legends, legitimated in American culture by frequent repetition.
