(62,325 posts)will always tell the truth about their policies. They probably despise the left of the Dem Party more than the Republicans, to whom they are way closer on the issues anyhow.
They keep wanting a pat on the head from Republicans, but no matter how much they 'reach across the aisle' they simply can't their approval.
That's what happens when you say you are one thing but are really something else. No one ends up respecting you.
I always wondered why they didn't just start their own party. But then they don't really care much about anything other than Privatization and Deregulation and to get their agenda accomplished they needed the Dem Party to do it. Repubs were already bought but one party wasn't enough to get things done, so they bought into the Dem Party and then gained control of it.
The only fly in their ointment was The Left.
