You got a great point. I have often said that IMO Democrat moles run the California Republican Party.
Why? Look at the Republican Party's recent performance. Such as the opposition to the recall -- then after realizing it was working the Party did jump in with "star power" and stiff-armed aside the hundreds who worked tirelessly to collect enough signatures even without Issa's million dollars.
Also, it was eye-opening to see the differences between Dems and Reps as the recall was debated. The short version is the Dems see politics as 24/7, wall-to-wall -- even maintaining something akin to baseball's farm clubs, the military's reserves, and even an enemy's "sleeper cells." Why wouldn't they put moles in the enemy's camp?
Food for thought!
