Now what’s left is a battle between two clear political philosophies on the left and right: The principled but pragmatic progressivism embodied by Dennis Kucinich, or the nihilistic fury and self-interest that’s best represented by Ann Coulter. Since both Coulder and Kucinich had a lot to say about health reform this week, it’s worth taking a moment to compare and contrast their philosophies.
