Ivan, I don't even know yet who most of these new people are, but you took the words out of my mouth. The Democrats don't PERMIT their politicians to vote pro-life or pro-family. It violates their most basic beliefs.

Don't you guys realize that this is really gonna be tuff for the Dems. They rode to power on the Christian, pro2nd, prolife, etc., etc. candidates. We have seen this happen before. When Pelosi puts the arm on these people they will just switch parties. Pelosi and Schumer have a hell of a job in front of them. If they don't give their ground troops what they want (gun control, impeachment, income redistribution, etc., etc.) they run the risk of these folks forming and working with a third party to the left of the remaining Dems. If they lean on these new folks they will jump.

We, however, have been able to get rid of a couple of RINOs, not all but a couple. This is going to be very interesting.

Very true. The start out at state level from pro-life districts and are pro-life, get endorsed by Right to Life, etc.

After a few cycles, they've sold their souls, lose the endorsements of such groups, but still claim to have them.

That's what happened w/ my new State Sen.

Pelosi will OWN these people. In fact, she donated to many of their campaigns. She will bring them in and say, "Vote my way on the big issues or you're here for one term only" and they will fall into line.

That said, Ivan's strategy for sepearating them from the herd will work very well if it's tried. Hopefully either the Prez or Mike Pence or both have the sense to try it.

Absolutely! Everyone needs to witness what happened to Lieberman this time around. He was attacked worse than Bush. I'm afraid Nancy and the compliant Big Media attack machine will be out to destroy all those democrats who don't tow the line.

With Lieberman it was just one issue. He sided with America in Iraq. Just one issue! Never forget it.
