Here’s a hint. Most of the GOP aren’t Dem operatives. Their votes WITH Democrats show them to BE democrats. And only an abject moron would vote for them.
Here’s another. It does not make an iota of difference if a Waxman or a Pelosi or a McCain or a Bhoner vote if they vote for the same things. R or D still gets you hosed.
Time for a third party.
[ Pat Caddell is one of the few responsible Democrats in media. From him, I don’t doubt a word of this. ]
A democrat who has been burned by his own party is a better ally than a member of your own party that lies to your face and stabs you in the back.
That incestuous relationship has a name: It's Fascism.
Note that Communism is when there is no ownership -- you just take what you need and give what you can. You've never seen anything like this in history, because Communism is about as utopian as you can get.
Note that Socialism is when the government owns things. You work for the government at the government-owned auto plant and you spend your paycheck at the government-owned grocery store. Cuba has this. It doesn't work well, but it's been tried. But, for the most part, the USA is not a socialist country.
Note that Fascism is when Big Business props up Big Government. And Big Government props up Big Business. The elite owns the businesses. They get sweetheart deals from their friends in government. The politicians don't actually own much of anything, but they make the insurance companies, the car companies and the banks do whatever the government wants. Re-election is easy that way, pensions are well-funded, and money flows into pockets when needed. Sound familiar? That's Fascism.
Dang, man, we've got to start getting at least as smart as the real enemy and use intelligent, stealth tactics to win. Using intelligence is how Reagan's America helped freedom fighters win around the world. A lot of people around here using some of this logic would call Reagan a traitor because he was supporting freedom fighters within a dictatorial country. That's stupid. I'm a libertarian freedom fighter with the GOP until it is overthrown.
It would hardly be a surprise. In the last five years, I saw the GOP-E repeatedly stab Palin in the back, then I saw them repeatedly stab the burgeoning tea-party in the back, then I saw them repeatedly stab Ted Cruz in the back.
After all this, it is impossible for me to look upon the GOP-E as anything but a personal enemy of everything I stand for, just as malicious as the Dems. And I already adjusted in 2012 my lifelong voting pattern to fit this new reality.
Not according to the expats from Idiocracy that run wild on conservative websites and claim to be rock ribbed right wingers.
Which is more a problem for us than any Dem. Since they do nothing but breed conclusion and work to thwart us in getting our collective act on the same page.
I’m asking WHY this guy is still a Democrat if he is one. I think it’s a fair question.
Well good luck with your proven disaster of a strategy. In case you missed it, people claim that nonsense since Ronaldus shuffled the presidential coil. And the GOP is about a million times more lib than it has E V E R been.
He is sorely missed.
It does make a difference. When the "Republicans" who are in the game to defend the status quo vote against constitutional conservative issues, it means there is no solid voting block that the libs are challenged by. They can pick off a few votes and we lose.
Thats what happened when Boehner only needed a little more than 20 Republican votes to defeat his own party. That's disgusting.
They act or say they like Cruz, but they really don’t.
You can’t promote the “lessor of two evil” nonsense and like Cruz, and those
like him. It’s incompatible.
Damn typos today...Breed CONFUSION
Atwater is greatly missed.
What I am saying is that when the Pubs vote with Dems, they are dems. There is no difference. A vote doesn’t have a political affiliation. It is yea or nay. But the person casting it does. And in the case of the GOPe/RINOs that affiliation is Democrat. Because it sure isn’t voting according to the GOP platform.
Atwater
A Republican who dared to play the game like the Dems did.
Not much reasoning in your answer. How are you going to NOMINATE Rand or Cruz if you’re in a closed state and not in the Republican Party?
And yet they roam freely, spreading the GOP gospel unchallenged by all but a few of us.
I wonder why we don’t have more support in fighting their idiocy.
If by that you mean we can trust Pat Caddell more than John Boehner, I’d be inclined to agree with you.
I’m surprised Jim Roberson allows them to roam so freely.
