At this point the conservative wing should negotiate a settlement with the GOPe. They need us to come out strong to secure a majority in the senate.

That is impossible. Conservatives do *not* compromise their principles. ANY Conservative talking head who came out in favor of such a compromise would immediately lose all credibility among Conservatives.

See, you have to look at this through the rose colored glasses of the ethically flexible.

Words no longer mean things like they used to. They mean whatever the speaker wishes them to mean. Today, a GOPe pol saus he is for strong border defense, low taxes and will fight to repeal Obamacare.

In reality, they sign bills funding Obamacare, raising taxes and ‘reforming’ immigration to allow the border to become an amusement park where all liberal wishes come true.

Those things all happened this week, but there are thousands like them in the last 30 years. Orwell called it ‘holding two diametrically opposed ideas and believing both to be true”. Now George was a smart guy. I don’t philosophise on that level. Simple mountain hick that I am, I have to look at prople supporting that crap and demanding to be called conservative as frauds. My prefered term is Cheshire because in reality, as demonstrated by their mastery of situational ethics, their conservative ideals appear and vanish as needed to forward their agenda.

When they need to rally the troops, they are rock ribbed Reganites. When it comes time to elect the latest RINO, they are walking excuse factories without a shred of integrity or courage of their convictions.

Those are the facts. And they are not able to be twisted, like words, to mean things they do not. When one supports a liberal, they are a liberal. Always. No exceptions. Because conservatives do not vote for liberals.

Because contrary to the ethically flexable among us, words DO in fact, mean things.
