Liberal Inadvertently Tells People to Vote Republican

E.J. Dionne, a liberal Washington Post columnist inadvertently explained why given the choice between Republicans and Democrats, people should vote Republican. In his article covering the GOP debate, Dionne writes disparagingly,

it was striking that the ideas on offer were largely conservative boilerplate: There is no problem, it seems, that can’t be solved by cutting taxes, slashing government and eviscerating regulations.

Dionne doesn't seem to realize that Republican mantras compare quite favorably with Democratic solutions to most problems: raising taxes, bigger government, and increased regulation & bureaucracy.
