“Suppose registered Republicans in huge numbers changed their party registration to dem, ind, con, etc.”
Our first clue was in the ‘90s when Republicans took control of Congress and acted like democrats. I registered out of the party then and will never go back; and I walked door-to-door for Reagan. Conservatives keep falling for the same old liberal republican trick. The republican establishment doesn’t care about conservatism. They only care about conservative money. Their attitude is, “just pony up and shut up, your betters will make the actual decisions!”
Look what happened on this site when some of us refused to vote for the liberal Romney. They immedietly started calling us names. They tried to bully us. They slandered us by saying we were voting for Obama. They demanded that we get with THEIR program. They LOST. Their great strategy of compromising their principles in order to attract imaginary middle-of-the-road voters FAILED. So now they are scapegoating conservatives and shutting us out of committee assignments for cold-blooded, cynical, political reasons.
How many times do you have to be knifed in the back before realizing someone is your enemy? Rove et. all think you’re stupid.
Even Reagan had his flaws: Sandra Day O’Connor, Anthony Kennedy, King Day, GHWB. Without King Day, there probably could have been no Obama Day in 2008.
