Reply #25: You do know that metamorphosis happened during WWII?

As the Second World War was coming to an end, Meyer Lansky made a conscious decision to buy the GOP because they had a tighter lock on the federal judiciary than the Dems.

Lansky and John Foster Dulles (the RNC Chair) are the authors of the GOP's strategy to establish a stronghold in the southwest because it was relatively unpopulated and open to gambling and prostitution. In 1946, Lansky took over the LA and California mob and also started investing heavily in Havana, where the Mafia laundered its proceeds offshore.

Nixon came out of that strange alliance between Lansky and Dulles. Nixon's chief dirty tricks operator, Maurice Chontilier, was Lucianne Goldberg's mentor, and Goldberg was the mastermind of the Monica Lewinsky honey trap that snagged the Clenis.

The GOP-Arab oil connection developed during the 1950s, after Standard Oil and Gulf displaced BP and Shell from the Saudi oil fields. Here, we see the strange intersection of Israeli intelligence and Saudi moneymen emerge. The Bush dynasty is part of that nexis through Brown Bros. Harriman and Dresser Industries.

In this historical context, the Abramoff-GOP-Muslim Brotherhood alliance isn't really so strange.
