The unthinkable is a Republican party that only believes socialism is bad when proposed by Democrats. "Compassionate Conservatism" paid for with money extorted under threat of lien/levy of private property is rehashed, renamed, new and improved, lemon-scented Democratic Socialism. The trouble is that Republicans peddling this nonsense don't set off the Republican immune response...but Dems do. To the extent that Republicans are Dem-lite, we have to clean house.
Electing democrats or helping to elect democrats is unthinkable and there is not one person who can rightly claim he or she is a conservative that would opt to let Marxist democrats regain power.
We vote for the most conservative of candidates in the primaries but back the GOP nominee in all general elections.
