“Flake wrote. “We are conservatives.”
On other sites I sometimes run into the people who say something like “I’ve always voted Republican, but no way I’m voting for Trump next year”.
Obviously there’s a chance that they’re telling the truth, but if that were the case for anything more than a tiny number of people, Trump’s support from the Republican base would be falling, instead of rising. Also, they usually have some vile comment to say about Trump, but never about the Democrats, so that too gives them away.
In any case, I blast them as flat-out liars, although I don’t quite use that terminology. It’s obvious why they’re doing it (astroturfing)...and we should never let them get away with it.
Likewise, Rush had what he calls ‘Seminar Callers’, back in the early 90s, who claimed to be fed up with Bush Sr. He called them ‘Seminar Callers’ because they literally attend seminars on how to troll conservatives! He still gets them once in a while, but now he smells them out about 5 seconds after the call starts and has fun with them.
True. People who call themselves republicans but say they won’t vote for President Trump means they are really democrats.
Occasionally I muster up my courage and watch a few minutes of cnn and msnbc. They always quote “prominent Republicans” like Chuck Hagel, John Kasich, David Jolly etc.
They aren’t Republicans, Jim.
They actually have their own term...
ROLCON: Roll Play Conservative.
Instead, I’m going to abandon my conservative principles and vote for the Socialist Democrat candidate.
