Rush may have inadvertently stumbled on something very important: if in an election, conservatives can vote for a conservative Democrat instead of a liberal Republican, who should they vote for?
Since 1968, when the leftist radicals took over the Democrat party, conservatives have had no real choice. Either they voted for Republicans, no matter how lame, or else a leftist radical might win. Time after time, it was just the case that the lesser of two evils is still evil.
Conservatives have had to grin and bear it for forty years, as the country club Republicans and the RINOs, and a few wealthy liberal Republicans kept choosing the path of weakness, fiscal irresponsibility, and creeping socialism for the party they controlled.
But now, out of the blue, the Democrat party is starting to get a serious block of “blue dog” Democrats. Already, in many ways, there are more conservatives on the Democrat side than on the Republican side. Or at least they have far more discipline, and act as a bloc.
So let me propose the obvious: conservatives taking over the Democrat party!
If the Democrat party becomes the conservative party, then to heck with the liberal, RINO, and corporate Republicans.
They can still have the party they stole, but no longer will they have more than a few seats. The Republican party will wither until it is of a third party status.
The Democrat party will be the conservative party.
The Democrat party IS the Socialist Party ever since the radicals took it over 40 years ago.
The Republican Party is the RINO party as the political “middle” has been ever shifting Left. Not by popular support but by infiltration of both parties by Lefty candidates.
There is no UPSIDE to voting for someone “conservative” with a D next to his name. He will not have any power within Congress. No oversight. Just a “vote” that he owes to the majority whip.
The control of Congress is held by the majority party. Democrats realize this and will play to the middle to keep control. They’ve also turned some politicians after losing an election.
We should be working to get the DINOs conservatives to change party affliation to Republican after they are elected as Democrats. Alternatively, after the 2008 election, ALL conservatives should abruptly change party affiliation to a new third party and abandon the Republican Party to the Democrat insiders who dilute it. Wait until after the election to avoid having RINOs run against you in the fall and to spend the party’s money that you rightly collected for them.
