Your comment is very true. The GOP isn’t the GOP of Reagan years, and hasn’t been since then.
The unfortunate fact is that most of the GOP voters in America don’t understand and have paid very little attention to what the GOP is now.
They just go out at election time and pull the lever for the GOP.
That said, the same holds true for the Democrat Party. Many Democrats have always voted Democrat. They fail to notice that their Party has been taken over by flat out communists. I know a few dems that just don’t want to believe that because they can’t see, and don’t want to see, what their party has become.
I don’t deny that. It baffles me to think they don’t know, but I just posted something to Exit82 that explains the Conservative road to salvation (politically), and if you use the same theory as you have expressed here in other terms, I think it fits.
