Funny, I didn’t know Cindy and John knew each other..Married yes, but lived in different states.

[Pilgrim's Progress]

I’m shocked that Graham isn’t speaking at the DNC as well. Linda told us how much he likes Uncle Joe also.

It Raises the question of whether the 2008 and 2012 elections may have been thrown. Considering that both Republican candidates are friendlier with the Democrats than with the duly elected President of their own party, you begin to wonder which team they are playing for.

[Olog-hai]

The answer to that question is obviously in the affirmative.

Never mind the over-100-percent voter turnout in many city districts for Obama in 2012.

John McCain, like John Kasich and Colin Powell, have never been Republicans. They’ve been useful idiots for the left, though.

[WASCWatch]

And the Democrats think this will help Biden how...?

The Uniparty team.

Remember the 45 communist goals for the USA, from The Naked Communist? Goal #15 was this:

Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.

Goldwater’s book The Conscience of a Conservative outlined how far the commies had gotten by the end of the 1950s:

The New Deal, Dean Acheson wrote approvingly in a book called A Democrat Looks At His Party, “conceived of the federal government as the whole people organized to do what had to be done.” A year later, Mr. (Arthur) Larson wrote A Republican Looks At His Party, and made much the same claim in his book for modern Republicans. The “underlying philosophy” of the New Republicanism, said Mr. Larson, is that “if a job has to be done to meet the needs of the people, and no one else can do it, then it is the proper function of the federal government.”

Here we have, by prominent spokesmen of both political parties, an unqualified repudiation of the principle of limited government. There is no reference by either of them to the Constitution, or any attempt to define the legitimate functions of government. The government can do whatever needs to be done; note, too, the implicit but necessary assumption that it is the government itself that determines what needs to be done. We must not, I think, underrate the importance of these statements. They reflect the view of a majority of the leaders of one of our parties, and of a strong minority among the leaders of the other, and they propound the first principle of totalitarianism: that the State is competent to do all things and is limited in what it actually does only by the will of those who control the State. …

Chapter 2, page 15

Franklin Roosevelt’s rapid conversion from Constitutionalism to the doctrine of unlimited government is an oft-told story. But I am here concerned not so much by the abandonment of states’ rights by the national Democratic Party — an event that occurred some years ago when that party was captured by the socialist ideologues in and about the labor movement — as by the unmistakable tendency of the Republican Party to adopt the same course. […] Thus, the cornerstone of the Republic, our chief bulwark against the encroachment (on) individual freedom by Big Government, is fast disappearing under the piling sands of absolutism.

The Republican Party, to be sure, gives lip service to states’ rights. We often talk about “returning to the states their rightful powers”; the Administration has even gone so far as to sponsor a federal-state conference on the problem. But deeds are what count, and I regret to say that in actual practice, the Republican Party, like the Democratic Party, summons the coercive power of the federal government whenever national leaders conclude that the states are not performing satisfactorily. …

IBID., pp. 24-25

So if the commies had made that much progress subverting both parties a half-century ago, where do things stand today?
