So have they changed their stances?

Were they truly Dems the whole time?

Anyone got any actual info or just s bunch of moronic bitching from certified geniuses as usual?

One's party declaration should be done in good faith. There is absolutely nothing wrong with switching parties, as long as it's done in good faith. This is even possible for politicians. In fact, it should probably happen more often, as the parties are just two sides of the same coin. Doing what's best for America is orders of magnitude more important. As a corollary to that, persisting in your ways when you've had a good faith change of heart, for the sake of party loyalty, serves only to disgrace America, and to put party loyalty ahead of country.

It's not in the same category of stupid as trusting democrats like Rick Perry and Ronald Reagan to be for smaller government.

If the low information voters on the right had listened to the issues presented by candidates instead of whether they had an R are a D in front of their name, they would have voted accordingly.

So now believing someone when they say something is NOW stupid?

"You can keep your doctor" , "my helicopter was shot at", and hundreds of other things dem politicians have said they would do or would happen and and you believed and did NOT happen makes YOU STUPID? OK.

I see impeachments coming.

Please. Would you be so kind as to post that list?

Believing in stupid things a candidate says is indeed stupid! "Mexico will pay for the wall!"

This is a symptom of the collapse of the Republican Party. Not since James Buchanan destroyed the Whig party has a president done this much damage to a major political party in the US. While modern political parties have much deeper pockets and would be harder to discard, Republicans may be relegating their party to marginal status with their mindless bloc voting in Congress.

While the Democrats may be crazy, at least they are interesting. You know that no matter how outrageous the corruption gets, Republicans will just swallow. People aren't going to vote for that. If another H. Ross Perot pops up, the whole Republican Party could go into the dustbin of history.
