re: #219 WindUpBird

also I do not believe that all Republicans must be socons, of course that’s ridiculous

Problem is this:

The so-cons are united and feel very strongly about…whatever their insane bullshit is, and they’re much more motivated than fiscal conservatives who stay away from this stuff, and they have the base on their side.

It ain’t that all Republicans are so-cons, it’s that the ones that aggressively aren’t are weak and getting weaker, because it’s an easy way to manipulate the GOP base
