Many many democrats crossed over to become republicans during the Reagan Revolution because it was the only way they could hold onto power.
For example, Thad Cochran and Haley Barbour. And so many others.
And then there are republicans that are outright liar scum, like Rand Paul.
Now that they are republicans, they play the game of calling themselves conservatives and talking like conservatives to their constituents because those constituents want a conservative to represent them.
But as they talk like conservatives they do the opposite on bills that matter and do the conservative thing on bills that don’t matter. For example, they voted for a bill to defund PP knowing full well that Obama would veto it. Yet, they fully fund PP in a must-pass bill that funds continuing operations of the federal government. But they can say they voted to defund PP, it’s on the record, see? Yet they voted on a must-pass bill to fully fund PP in buried provisions inside that bill.
They attach riders to must-pass bills that are buried inside the critical bills. They voted not to renew funding of the crony corrupt Ex-Im Bank. But then they fund it in a must-pass Highway Bill.
And the list of examples goes on and on and on.
And this is just PP and Crony Banks. This doesn’t even touch the surface of other issues that are dear to conservatives.
They’re scum, liar scum. And they’ve gotten away with it for far too long.
A couple of things we should come to accept:
1) As long as Planned Parenthood’s mission is to eradicate blacks, all possible aid will be provided to do so. Outrageous violations of the law will be ignored in pursuit of that mission.
2) Spending bills that pile up fifteen figure debts for future generations are not an issue to people who know their genes will pass from this earth within the next few decades; people without children don’t care since the “grandchildren” inheriting this debt aren’t their grandchildren anyway.
