I left the Republican Party. Now I want Democrats to take over
The washington Post ^ | July 04, 2018 | Max Boot

Posted on 07/04/2018 10:56:46 AM PDT by Hojczyk

Personally, I’ve thrown up my hands in despair at the debased state of the GOP. I don’t want to be identified with the party of the child-snatchers. But I respect principled conservatives who are willing to stay and fight to reclaim a once-great party that freed the slaves and helped to win the Cold War. What I can’t respect are head-in-the-sand conservatives who continue to support the GOP by pretending that nothing has changed.

They act, these political ostriches, as if this were still the party of Ronald Reagan and John McCain rather than of Steve Bannon and Stephen Miller — and therefore they cling to the illusion that supporting Republican candidates will advance their avowed views. Wrong. The current GOP still has a few resemblances to the party of old — it still cuts taxes and supports conservative judges. But a vote for the GOP in November is also a vote for egregious obstruction of justice, rampant conflicts of interest, the demonization of minorities, the debasement of political discourse, the alienation of America’s allies, the end of free trade and the appeasement of dictators.

That is why I join Will and other principled conservatives, both current and former Republicans, in rooting for a Democratic takeover of both houses in November. Like postwar Germany and Japan, the Republican Party must first be destroyed before it can be rebuilt.

I have never heard of a guy named Max Boot so who cares about his opinion. My vote will cancel his out.

You've reminded me that US voters most often reject 1 party control. It's happened recently only twice.....with 43, and Obama, if memory serves. In both instances, voters did not want the same party controlling the House, Senate, and the White House.

This will change this fall of '18. Voters will like what they see and command us to carry on.

Max Boot would have Trump become an American Bruning. Will never happen.

Trump isn’t pro-austerity. That would be political suicide. The welfare state was founded by Bismarck as answer to the Social Democrats program to socialize the German economy.

Maybe that’s what Boot wants for America. Thanks but no thanks .

re the WalkAway Movement video I just posted

Don't be fooled by the small # of views

From the comments section

The truth is probably closer to 20 million views. When I watched it two weeks ago it had 1.6 million views, then it went down to 600,000. Just checked it again today and it is down to 457,000. Amazing! It's like gravity making everything float up. I would like You Tube to show the real numbers on this. But they are afraid to
And it is trending on twitter, but they won't put it in their treneint list

The guy said on Ingrahm's show last nite that he is getting 10,000 hits a day

It's bigger than that.

When I read this kind of slop from losers like Max Boot and George Will, I start to get a clearer picture of what's been going on in Washington for the last ten years. It also explains why Hillary Clinton will never be prosecuted for her crimes.

Basically, the Clinton Foundation was a CIA front operation -- set up as a "shadow government" to represent the Sunni Muslim interests that have bought and owned our government for a long time. After 20 years of Sunni rule in the form of the Bush and Clinton administrations, they were out of power with the Shi'ite cabal led by Barack Hussein Obama in the White House. So they used the Clinton Foundation to facilitate Sunni insurgencies and topple governments all over the Middle East.

This is why all of these "neo-conservative" @ssholes voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016. Donald Trump was a huge wild card who wasn't going to promote their globalist agenda ... so with Jeb Bush run out of town in the GOP primaries like a child molester, they were perfectly comfortable with a fellow globalist like Hillary Clinton in the White House.

Go ahead and leave! You are a libidiot anyway and one who does not understand US immigration laws and enforcement rules that have been in place since 1997, long before Trump. Wake up!

I saw Max Boot take a hilarious beating on Twitter once. He is a joke. So sanctimonious, holier than thou.

These warmonger, American-hating neocons need to move to Israel. Kristol, Frum, Boot, Rubin, Shapiro, etc.

Max Boot is a historian, best-selling author and foreign-policy analyst who has been called one of the “world’s leading authorities on armed conflict” by the International Institute for Strategic Studies

He's one of the world's leading authorities on bleeding America dry - figuratively and literally - to fight other people's wars.

Thank God for Donald Trump for among so many other things exposing these globalist neo-con phonies who masqueraded as conservatives. Good riddance.

“Personally, I’ve thrown up my hands in despair at the debased state of the GOP. I don’t want to be identified with the party of the child-snatchers.”

Bill Clinton signed the bill and Obama continued the practice, yet, this typically brainwashed liberal blames Republicans.

Hey Max, don't let the door boot you in the ass on your way out. Go join your buddies Mccain and Will in your new political party. Principled conservatives who will vote for socialist, marxist democrats who hate America. Only assholes can be members of that party.

I have read some of Max Boots pieces over a number of years and never suspected he was not a Democrat.

Author is a complete idiot.

Republican Party is Trump’s party, John McCain is stuck on stupid.

To put those two in the same sentence is all you need to know about Boot.

Max Boot is a neocon who is angry that they can no longer use the Republican Party as their instrument to get involved in numerous military adventures abroad.

Neocons are just warlike liberals.

In the comments here, I have not seen this phony Boot express one principle which would correlate to anyone’s understanding of what Republican is, much less a conservative. Everything he has expressed to be in support of, is a leftist principle or policy. Just what made him claim the lable of Republican or conservative in the first place? He sounds like an agent provacateur from the get-go.
