That is true. However, there is a great following on this forum, that during each election cycle, chant, "If you don't vote for the Republican, you [fill in blank]." Even though the facts have manifested themselves that said Republicans despise Conservatives and their ideas add are allied with the Leftists [Democrats]. And they tack on the Principles have no part in politics or the voting booth".
The only difference I see now between the Democrat and Republican Parties other than the spelling is that the Democrats want to take the direct route and the Republicans prefer the longer scenic route to the same destination. The destination? Big Government that controls every faucet of one's life. That makes every decision, no matter how mundane for the individual. Along with the destruction of the individual for the collective.
Such persons need to be called the traitors, plants and operatives for the Fascist Oligarchy and Dictatorship that they are.
Call them what they are.
