How is this possible? We barely have blue dems.

12. Even if Libertarians succeed in anything, they're going to have to make somekind of deal with Labor.

6. Based on the reports of anonymous Madames...
...I would say that it's about 3/4 of the attendees of the Republican National Convention.

OH YOU MEANT BLUE, LIKE THE COLOR! My mistake. :D

That when you ask them why they don't believe in climate change they'll get red in the face.

The shades are patriotic, right?

17. Sounds about right.
Granting, I know a few registered as Republican that never vote for such. Silly family shit, homage to Abe Lincoln, and various oddball what not.

Maybe such folk, for a time, mitigated the worst of the American Taliban fascist movement to a degree or we'd have long ago starting seeing truly absurd clowns trending nuttier by the hour.

14. Just proof that our party is being taken over by conservatives. You're two new choices:
conservative, or ultra-conservative.

15. Huh, didn't know that kind of term was common down there
In Canada we'll have a lot of insert-colour-here insert-party-here for people who nominally align with one party but whose views lean somewhat towards another - for example, "red Tories" for Conservatives who have views that lean towards the Liberals, or "orange Liberals" for Liberals who are at the left end of that party and sound more like NDPers.

I don't think I'd actually heard of "blue Republicans" (or "red Democrats") before, just "(R/D)INO" or similar terms.

20. It's a Republican who has threatened to hold his breath until Obama is out of office.
