The reasoning must go something like this: "Since I do everything the Republican Party asks of me, I have earned my conservative credentials".
Or, "I'm sure I can become a right winger if I donate at least 35% of my disposable income to the CaGOP".
Well, I'll tell ya... You cannot call these "Party Faithful To The End," rugged individualists, or original thinkers. In my view, the ones hangin around here are "origional stinkers!"
