Becoming a clone of the Democrat party in order to win, is not winning
Exactly!
It's more of a "Trojan Horse" than anything else.
Most are too busy "hurrahing" their side to realize just what it is they are "hurrahing"...
“Becoming a clone of the Democrat party in order to win, is not winning”
You are right, but the way the party boys view it, it does not matter whether their candidate is conservative, only whether he or she has an “R” after the name. As a matter of fact, being conservative is a detriment as far as they are concerned since a conservative might, as Akin has done, vote against Republican big government programs.
