This former GOP lawmaker just made the ultimate move to combat Donald Trump’s agenda.
Former U.S. Rep. Joe Walsh announced Tuesday that he is joining the Democratic Party—a shocking move for a self-described “freedom-loving conservative” and staunch supporter of the Tea Party movement. Walsh was an initial supporter of Trump, but broke with him over disagreements with his policy during the first term.
“Three words I never thought I’d ever utter: I’m a Democrat,” Walsh wrote in his blog post. “This former Republican Congressman, former Republican candidate for President, this former TEA Party champion is formally joining the Democratic Party.”
This…pretty much describes the Democratic Party in general: mostly full of people who, by the standards 20 years ago, would’ve had an R by their names.
Both parties are a cancer at this point.
Absolutely correct. Both sides are sold out … but MAGA doesn’t even bother to keep it a secret because their cult followers are so stupid they just have to say “fake news”.
I really think they (the Rs) are doing this on purpose to fundamentally change the other party and force it to move. It’s part of a plan to destroy their opposition by diluting it so badly that it implodes and they have no real opposition.
Oh, apolitical, eh, very nice. An’ how’d you get that, eh? By exploitin’ the practical realities of competent governance — by ‘angin’ on to outdated ego-driven dogma which perpetuates the economic an’ social differences in our society! If there’s ever going to be any progress . . .
Dennis, there’s some lovely filth down 'ere
Nope. 20 years ago all Republicans were voting for tax cuts for the rich just like today and 20 years ago even fewer Dems were voting against tax cuts for the rich than today. Dems stopped moving to the right about 25 years ago and since then have been moving left, although way too slowly.
So democrats are republicans with a sense of shame?
Yeah I can see that
Where’s the shame?
Some Democrats. The “leadership” doesn’t.
Nope. There is a very easy objective way to tell Republicans and Democrats apart. Republicans are politicians who vote for huge tax cuts for billionaires and Dems are politicians who vote against it.
