they mask their agenda in a cloak of respectable moderation, and therein lies the danger to the Republic.
People see right through them just like you and me, you can spot a wolf in sheeps clothing a mile away.
IMO, I like the Left to be over-confident and to show their true colors at all times. The downside is the noise the Left makes tends to increase the number of RINO's who will in contrast appear as more Conservative and able to hide their spinelessness better.
