You're right but it don't help none when the Party pisses off people (like me for 45 years and still counting); to wit,
Nelson Rockefeller according to Stuart Spencer (Rockefeller's public relations head) said, "We had to destroy Barry Goldwater as a member of the human race."
They're still doing it? Mainline Republicans have to destroy Sarah Palin as a member of the human race?
They're a mite gentler than Rockefeller, Scranton, et al but the goal is the same?
If you dig into the CFR you find that the head of think tank this past year was David Rockefeller, and a self confessed communist. Need I say more?
