The GOPe leadership wants massive legal immigration via HB-1 visas,amnesty for low skill illegal aliens, Obamacare to offload corporate healthcare costs, abortion and homosexual marriage so they can finally get those issues off the table,and finally crony capitalism so if you want to be in business you have to come to Washington and pay to play.The leadership will war against any conservative and pour in money to defeat them in the primaries and yet not be too negative against the fine candidates put up by the Democrats in the general .The GOPe keeps going left against it’s base which is the opposite of their voter’s values. The day of reckoning is fast approaching either they start to represent the beliefs and values of their voters or their voters will go elsewhere.Now some of the GOPe will say “so what let them go we got the Chamber cash!” But guess what you won’t have any votes to bring to the table so all those goodies will flow even more to your “good friends the Democrats” who thanks to the votes of the new Americans will have the votes and power to “get things done in Washington!”
You accurately defined “corporatism”. Some folks confuse that with conservatism. The GOP is a party based corporatism...not conservatism.
