Next time you hear a Republican elected official say something foolish, or vote for the 50th, 60th, or 100th time to repeal the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), remember this — many of these Republicans are not as ideological as you might believe. Oh sure, there are the true believers, but others are simply playing a long con on the conservative voting base. And this con has four simple steps.
