The big business faction, which supports open borders, HB-1 visas, politically left ideology written into HR policies because it appeases their guilt, government protection of big business via regulation, is at war with the much larger but not as powerful socially conservative, small government faction.

It is about money and power and temporary satisfaction that contains both. Republican Elitism is largely about the urgency of now and the fewer impediments to that power and money. They could give a crap about their progeny’s future lot.

I have been unable to support the Republican Party for years. I stopped making donations, and I just cannot reconcile myself with their weak, vacillating, liberal positions.

They don’t understand: They simply cannot out-liberal liberals. Trying to adopt liberal positions on abortion, immigration, foreign policy and domestic policy is a doomed approach, because the liberals will be more genuine, and voters will understand that Republicans are only watered down liberals.

Liberals just LOVE it when Republicans try to co-opt their liberal positions. It means conservatives lose. They lose support in their own party, and they lose support in the general electorate.

It is a losing proposition. And they just don’t get it.

I think you’re wrong about that. The Big Business faction will be supporting Hillary Clinton in 2016.
