Exactly. I mean Bob thinks what’s left of the GOP will magically disappear and be replaced by a mythical 3rd party, free from original sin. It’s crazy. He has absolutely no concept of how political parties work...

Yup.

Bob also thinks that conservatives will rise up in the Democrat party while at the same time he also thinks that conservatives can't rise up in the Republican party.

I would say, Bob appears to be not right.

I mean there's almost zero presence of Conservatives in the Democrat party, they were systematically purged or died off throughout the 20th century. After Watergate, with the demands of the radical "babies", even the old-timers were told either move to the left, or risk being stripped of your seniority. There wasn't a single Democrat serving in Congress in 2008 that voted to the right enough to even qualify for the title of "Conservative." The most Conservative ones were moderate liberals, but if they switched to the GOP, they'd be outright liberal Republicans (with the MOST Conservative being the equivalent of Arlen Specter before he switched). You may have some Conservative people that delusionally or misguidedly support the Democrats, but major elected officials ? Forget it, they don't exist anymore. The leftist purge was a rousing success.

This is quite pathetic... I'm talking about defections from both parties and you're still in a fog commenting on rising up...lol

The question to me was where will the new party members come from...? I clearly told you where... and you come back with... are the Democrats are going to rise up and change their party...?

No wonder the GOP nominated McCain.... I'm communicating with a typical Republican right now.
