But I guess what bothers me is a lot of the ideas the left has I would support but they tend to be implemented so poorly. One of the worst things is this tendency to pick winners and losers and to pick them more on they want to win instead of who really needs the help. My wife works in the construction industry and they have been trying to get come contracts with the city and it really shows the ugly underbelly of this sort picking winners and losers. The certified minority companies come in about 50% higher than the none certified companies because they know you have to have a certain percentage of minority owned sub contractors to get the job. Technically the law says you only have to show they you let them bid but in practice the city council won't approve it without at least 25%.

It isn't like the inner city poor are being helped by these programs, the minority owned companies hire the same illegals and pay them the same wages as as none minority companies they just get to line their pockets with some extra tax dollars. Now who is being helped by letting rich minority business men run up extra profit at the expense of the tax payer? I would be all for supporting real programs to help inner city poverty and the horrid cycle it creates but instead I can support hand outs to the chosen few and disadvantage to my own family or I can support republicans. Even fuzzy logic would have trouble getting that wrong.

There are some logic problems on the right but they tend to get worse the further you get from the leadership and policies of the party. The problem with the logic errors on the left is how they affect the leadership or the elite in place like our universities. You can argue that the tea party logic isn't any better than logic of liberal elite but I am not sure it would help them much to argue that.
