Spineless Politicians Lose Their Beliefs In Washington DC

[From article]
The real impact of the media is on the politicians. Living in Washington and moving with the Washington cultural “elite,” too many Republicans begin to believe that what they hear from their consultant class friends and the Washington Post is true.
[. . .]
The vast majority of people in D.C. depend on big government for their jobs and their wealth; it’s no accident that D.C. is now the richest city in the country. For every conservative Republican politician, there are probably hundreds of nice people who need a big government to thrive. That’s the culture Republican politicians live in; they spend far more time in D.C. than back home where their conservative values are nurtured.
Think of how many good teenagers go to liberal colleges where they transmute into irrational liberals. It’s the same phenomenon we’re seeing with Republicans in D.C.[. . .]
It takes a tremendous amount of courage to speak conservative truths in D.C., where doing so will result in being mocked and reviled. Cowardly Republicans will change their stands to avoid that sort of bullying.

It’s better to have a Democrat with Democrat baggage in office than a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
[. . .]
Republicans have to realize that even though Democrats are “nice,” they are not sources of anything trustworthy. Republicans don’t need to demonize Democrats – just view them as being less reliable than used car salesmen.
