Mainstream/Mainstreet/Log Cabin Democrats
August 30th, 2008 by Republican By DefaultI’m continually frustrated by groups that call themselves Republicans, but really aren’t. They’re actually wolves in sheeps clothing. I had a discussion on this site a few months ago with one of them. I think they have a great idea, but they’re working in the wrong direction.
I think we need to create and support groups that infiltrate the Democrat ranks with a conservative agenda. Think of the effect we could have with groups like ‘Democrats for Lower Taxes’, ‘Mainstream Democrats’ who send out mailings in support restrained government spending on failed mass transit ideas, or ‘Family Values Democrats’.
On one hand they schmooze the Dem. elites and glad-hand all of the big Dem. donors, but on the other hand they promote conservative ideas like family values, a strong military, lower taxes and smaller government.
Hey, if liberals are going to try to infiltrate the ranks of the Republican party and bring their liberal agenda, then turnabout is fair play.
And as I think about it, I know that it would be met with unending lawsuits by the Democrat National Committee as they defend their right to freedom of assembly and accuse these groups of trademark infringement. Then there’s the flurry of media coverage that would be given to ‘defend the party’ against such groups.
Makes me wonder why the Republican party doesn’t do the same thing. Oh, wait, I know, it’s because leadership in the party won’t stand for anything. They’re the ‘big tent’ party and want to include anyone, no matter how contrary their beliefs may be.
