He’s definitely a RINO but not a leftist.

Once he buys the farm, son will swing it full tilt left.

Where did “buy the farm” phrase come from anyway :)

Sharecroppers used to say, “I’ll finally buy this farm, but that will be the day I die.”

Actually I made that up.

I personally make no distinction between the two. Similarly I see Nazism and Communism as identical political principles since both are atheistic and totalitarian. As proof, look at the massive genocide committed by both Hitler and Stalin.

As for "bought the farm", here's one source tracing its origin. As for its veracity, I cannot attest.

Air Force terminology for a crash that wipes out the farm and must be bought and also refers to the demise of the pilot.

The Letists have hated his anti-Commie stance going back to the 1960s in Australia and then England.
