'A Lifelong Republican'

In the past, I have voted across party lines but always as a Republican. [More]

So what you actually are doesn't matter, it's what you call yourself?  It's how you "identify"?

This Bershod character is something of an enigma in terms of pinning down and documenting past policy positions and sympathies.  That's no doubt intentional, designed to make those who don't question things too closely believe a "conservative" has defected because the Republicans have become too extreme.

Near as I can tell, he's a marketing mucky-muck for a "medical tourism" business that profits from the mess government has guaranteed domestic health care is hopelessly mired in.  Not covered? No problem!

It's not the first time we've seen the defection to "reasonable" moderation tactic employed.  We've seen it used to undermine RKBA with collectivist "Jerry Thompson" and with "Average Joe."  We've seen all kinds of decoys, and we know what the purpose of those are.

This isn't a heartfelt letter to a man's daughter  -- this is a cynical, emotional manipulation of useful idiots by those who will say and do anything for power and control.
