Folks, if you can provide a list to me of five Democrats who vote with Republicans even 33% of the time, I’ll be very surprised.
They would have to vote with us at least double that rate before I would even want them in the party.
Anyone who is voting against you 33% of the time, is killing you. Generally that 33% of the time is when you really need them, and by golly off they go on principle, submarining defense spending, cutting our legs off on some globalony issue or another.
What’s left in the Democrat part of Congress, is not your Ronald Reagan Democrat. The elected people in his day probably weren’t either.
He sought out registered Democrats who agreed with his fiscal and defense policy. He didn’t go help get leftists more positions in Congress against Republicans.
It’s bad enough having Republicans who won’t support you. If anything we want to get rid of them.
Sarah will support conservative Democrats. If she finds any.
What we think she's doing is twofold:
1. She's going after off blue-collar Democrat voters
2. She's sending a not-so-subtle message to the Republican party establishment. It goes something like this:
"If you continue to favor Vichy Republicans (like Crist) at the expense of conservatives (like Rubio), you will have lost the base. Continue to ignore the grassroots at your own peril. They are already angry with you, and if you do not show them some love, you will have lost them, possibly forever."
But that's our opinion.
...and I tend to agree.
