The Republican leadership are essentially Democrats anyways. I maintain they’re Democrats who successfully infiltrated and have completed the destruction of the GOP from the inside. Anyone who considers themselves a conservative could never support these bloated, pork laden budgets unless they were not really conservative to begin with, and certainly not a Republican in the spirit of Ronald Reagan.
Yes, these GOP Bush-style elites are Democrat infiltrators, just like Nikita S. Khrushchev boasted about in a general, not specific way, in 1959.
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.
our govt is owned, run, and paid for and paid back by the big banks,and the rich elite....one and the same...
