By THE WASHINGTON TIMES

Rep. Thaddeus G. McCotter, Michigan Republican, has no problem dividing the world into twos: globalist and traditionalist Republicans, optimists and Irish Catholics. And when it comes to Democrats, pacifists and hawkish Jews.

"Despite some of the neoconservative Jewish members that they have that are very hawkish," he said, "they generally tend to be more of a pacifist, multilateral party."

In a 90-minute interview Wednesday with The Washington Times, Mr. McCotter displayed the kind of bluntness that brought him attention during the recent debate over the Wall Street rescue plan. The chairman of the House Republican Policy Committee criticized the plan as a "$700 billion bag of dung [left] on taxpayers' doorsteps."


Yesterday, he said of his fellow Republicans: "What you really have are globalists versus traditionalists. Globalists tend to view America as an economy, not a country. The traditionalists tend to view it as a country: a very delicate microcosm, a collection of individuals with different hopes, dreams, aspirations."

He depicted himself as a traditionalist.

Question of the day

White House officials and Senate Democrats met in private three times last week to craft health care legislation. Do you think these discussions should be more public?
