I think that he is a deluded idealist. Being in Congress might cure him of this. If he finds too much out it might also be dangerous for him, as he may be motivated to blow the whistle on them them with the most shocking stories that he ever became able to expose.

With a handle like yours I wouldn’t point fingers in that direction. lol

[ConservativeMan55]

This may be his motivation lol!

Can you believe this? And to think he consulted with the GOP -- a party he said he cannot agree with on any social issue, voted for Obama twice, and will undoubtedly vote for Hillary when she runs in 2016. He must think we're all morons to consider him a republican.

Thanks for the ping, FRiend.

Is this for real, or is it satire? ;-D

ROTFLOL! Whorealdo is talking with "Republicans"?? He's a flaming liberal democRAT! Seriously... why is he talking to Republicans??

Whorealdo is as "Republican" as Al Franken is, from what I've seen and heard over the years...

• ...by softening its edge on some volatile social issues and altering its image as the party always seemingly "eager to go to war... We do need to expand the party and grow the party and that does mean that we don't always all agree on every issue" ... the party needs to become more welcoming to individuals who disagree with basic Republican doctrine on emotional social issues such as gay marriage... "We're going to have to be a little hands off on some of these issues ... and get people into the party," Paul said. [Rand Paul: Time for GOP to soften [immigration, gay marriage] stance]
