I believe a significant number of Republicans have been compromised for past very serious transgressions (violations of the law, moral lapses, etc., etc.) of one sort or another, and that they are being blackmailed by Ophonybama and his LIEberal thugs!
After all, that IS is the Chicago Way, and Ophonybama and his LIEberal thugs are known for treating their enemies (and, Republicans and Conservatives ARE their enemies!) like that.
HST, you are correct in one respect — there are LIEberal Republicans who will vote with Ophonybama and his LIEberal thugs because they are LIEberals!
I agree some may be.
However If my statement is incorrect, then how does it explain the total capitulation by so many over such a large timeframe? That would logically mean that nearly every one of these guys, to the upper 90th percentile, was corrupt to the core GOING IN. Thats one hell of a set of odds no Vegas Bookie would take on.
Occams Razor would indicate they simply agree with liberalism.
