Country Club Republicans Now Backing Hilliary

Be sure to check out Regular Guy Paul's analysis of what is driving an apparent swing of formerly-Republican campaign cash to the presidential campaign of Hilliary! Clinton:

Bruce Bartlett, a prominent member of the inky punditocracy, is arguing that no Republican can win the next election, and also that conservatives should therefore support the most conservative Democrat candidate, and argues further that that candidate is New York Senator Hillary Clinton...

... It is too easy to write off such people as opportunists who just want to be on the winning side. There is a deep undercurrent of hostility to the Republican Party among many who formerly supported its candidates. They are simply disgusted with the incompetence with which the Iraq war has been waged, the total disappearance of fiscal discipline, and what they view as the party’s incessant pandering to ignorant and intolerant yahoos on issues such as immigration, gays, global warming, abortion, and stem cell research, among others. [Emphasis added.]

So let me get this straight. They think that with a Democrat president, they'll get more "fiscal discipline"? Not likely. That the Iraq War will be more effectively conducted? Highly doubtful.

Or is it perhaps their real reason that they want to get away from those "ignorant and intolerant yahoos", the social conservatives? If that's the goal, moving to the Democrat side of the aisle makes sense. No such people over there to trouble you.

If one is tired of "religious zealots, gun nuts, anti-tax extremists and pro-life absolutists", then throwing money at Senator Clinton makes sense.

These are the "country-club" Republicans, and they like their illegal immigrant nannies and gardeners, and when the pool boy knocks up their daughters, or their mistresses are late, they want to be sure that the abortion clinic is clean and well-stocked. They're rich enough to pay the taxes that hold the middle class down, and keep the small businesses small, and they don't need expanded gun rights because the police routinely patrol their neighborhoods, and the country club stores their skeet rifles. Church belongs on Sunday mornings when they aren't out on the links or the boat, thank you. (Think Harrison Ford in Sabrina and Regarding Henry, or Ben Affleck in Changing Lanes.)
