Call me paranoid, but I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that there have been “sleeper cells” of leftists in the GOP, waiting their time to turn it to the left/destroy it from within. Why not, they’ve done it with every other institution in the US, saving the hardest nuts to crack (the Christian church, the military, the opposition on the right) for last.
There’s a name for that. It’s called Bush.
I actually think it’s the opposite. There are sleeper cells of Conservatives hidden in the Republican Party.
And yet, we're told by some here on FR to support and help elect them - Why? Because they have an "R" after their name. That's the be-all and end-all qualification. [rolls eyes]
