One thing you have to say: the Republicrats are brazen
Like their brethren with actual R's behind their name- they'll work tirelessly for unpopular causes against the public interest.

Until, that is- they suffer political or financial consequences.

1. Let's hope all of the "conservative Democrats" suffer political consequences
at the earliest opportunity. A flushing down the drain of all the incumbents who are DINOs should send a STRONG message to the rest of them.

That is the only thing they understand.

2. They'll wake up when it hits them hard in the pocket-books. It's starting because their ranks
are dwindling as we type. Soon, they'll be a small pissed-off minority. Then it will be hard for the whores in the M$M to prop them up. But, no worries, the M$M have the rabid blue dogs to keep the people divided and the upper 1% super-rich due to vacillation within the legislative process.

3. The causes aren't unpopular among their constituents.
That's why their against them. Same for the moderate Dems.

We cannot extrapolate 65% (or whatever it is) support for the public option as being equal across the US and these folks aren't being elected by the entire country.

Therein lies the problem.

4. Just right out there in the open. They're betting they won't lose an election over this.
It comes down to campaign cash (they'll get plenty) versus the true anger of regular thinking folks.

So I'm sure they'll get the cash, but the bad publicity should sink them.

I guess we'll see, hey?
