There are most definitely a significant number of Democrat / leftist operative plants within the GOP. Don't doubt this for a second. There is a pattern. Oppose major Democrat legislative efforts only when the votes are already there for the Democrats. When needed, ‘cross the aisle’ in an oh so reasonable bipartisan manner. When conservatives / Republicans start getting upset about the lack of faithfulness to conservative principles, act like a true conservative on some issues, just to avoid suspicion. If conservatives can no longer be swayed / fooled, only then is it time to change party.
Yup. Sometimes I get the feeling the fix was in for 2008, and the Chicagobama Machine persuaded McCain (and the RINO / Rovian consultants) to throw the election. In return, the Lamestream Media would keep hailing him as the ‘reasonable elder statesman’. That would explain his lame campaign strategy and the RINO / Rovians’ tacit destruction of Gov. Palin.
