Reply #75: Strange that the GOP isn't haven't the same problem with splinter.. [View All]

[Q]

...groups. It seems that they have cracked down and shoved the wishy-washy moderate conservatives out of the party. It looks like THEY ended up in the Democratic party.

- Republicans knew they could never beat Democrats in a fair election. So they set up a system to rig elections and infiltrate the Democratic party and weaken it from within. Just enough conservatives within the party to influence close votes in the houses and soften positions on traditional values.

- I had never heard any Democrat call themselves 'conservative' before the Reagan era and the great 1994 purge. Since then...conservative Democrats have demonstrated that they want to change the party into something else: a gentler version of the GOP.

- NeoDems don't seem to understand why it's 'bad' for politicos like Miller to 'cross over' and support far-right republican Bush* and still call himself a Democrat. It's like saying that being a Democrat is living a lie.
