the reason conservatives want to help the democrats is because they're viewing the situation from an ideological, not partisan perspective. most of them couldn't care lessa bout the republican party as a political entity... their main motivation is the strength of the conservative voice in politics. the republican party has been their primary vehicle for a conservative agenda lately... but if democrats can be called further to the right by the siren song of more support among the population, they're just as happy.
basically, they see democrats as being dominated by far-left self promoters and would like to see the moderate democratic base shake off the more radically left elements of their party. this would solidify the overall support for conservative policy.
