Can’t argue with that. The Pubbies post WWII should have gone all the way back to the early FDR years and rooted out and hanged all the commie infiltrators FDR put into high/low positions. Of course, RMN did a little of that, that’s why he was so hated by the left. And that’s one reason to be convinced that there’s not a “dime’s worth of difference” between the ‘rats and the GOP elite, IMHO.
Considering that after Reagan, Republican presidents have been fully cooperative in prosecuting in-the-trenches Republican loyalists at every Rat partisan squawk about "ethics", I consider your opinion to be proven fact.
We see the kinves put now for Newt, Santorum, Bachman, Caine, and Palin in 2008.
