So then they decided to infiltrate the Dem Party with their policies and put a Liberal rubber stamp on them, getting the votes they needed to speed things up.
It was brilliant when you think of it. Many of us fell for it for a long time.
I also think they've taken it further to get enough of the Left on board, by pretending to be opposed to many policies they totally support. Once they know they can get something passed ONLY by Dems and couple of Repubs if needed, they can rouse up the Left to defend what they traditionally opposed, by pitting them against THEM.
After watching it all over the past few years, what once was puzzling, seeing Dems you trusted vote for Bush policies, eg, it has become much more clear as to what they were up to.
So now that the game is up what do we do?
