It’s obvious the Democratic Party was able to infiltrate and sabotage the GOP with its own people. We use to laugh at that suggestion because that was a bunch of “conspiracy” talk. Is anyone laughing now? The Democrats are sitting ducks and they could be pulverised big time but GOP congressional leaders keep throwing them lifelines. It doesn’t make sense, but in reality it makes perfect sense. If Boehner and Cantor were real conservatives they would have had the entire house GOP in attack mode and the Democratic Party would have been reduced to a chewed over carcass by now.
Don’t forget that the old Rockefellar and Nixon republicans were pretty liberal in many areas, socially and fiscally. Nixon even implemented price controls. Neither of them opposed higher taxes as a means of balancing budgets.
Reagan was an analnomoly. Conservatives and Republicans are and never have been conclusive. Conservatives are the Republican parties useful idiots. They will continue to use us until we leave in mass. The ruling class has its masters and they are not we the people. All politicians answer to their donors, money talks.
