Yeah conservative support for Obama! That's the funniest thing I ever heard. WTF? Why would anyone support someone with the views furthest from their own?
Oh, thats right, to support the candidate with the least chance of beating your candidate.
I think the Republicans are beyond desperate. Their party should be put on a suicide watch!
The only one with no hope of winning this fall is Clinton. In case you haven't been following along, she is extremely polarizing and very unpopular with anyone who isn't a diehard Democrat. She has virtually zero appeal with the independents and the swing voters.
And, more importantly, this country needs change. So far, for the past 20 years, it's been Bush, Clinton, Bush... Clinton? That alone is a kiss-of-death for Hillary.
In the meantime, the conservatives have been thoroughly betrayed by their own party and are looking for a home. And hacks like you are slamming the door in their faces.
But you're right in one respect. They have views. And you don't. You have a party that tells you what your views are supposed to be. So while you're concerned about party, they're concerned about gaining the power and influence in order to make their views into reality.
