If you go, don't go alone. Take some conservatives with you, and IMEDIATELY organize to fight primary battles with YOUR candidate from the (D) right. Takes a LOT of ground pounding to work, but remember in the 1960's in Southern States, the Democrat PRIMARY was the election, the Rep. was a guaranteed loser every time....until a few (D) govenors changed to rep..
Exactly.
Let's face facts: we're American-in-exile. We can't fight an open political war with them, we have to go underground, blend in and take the fight to them on their streets.
Let's also consider: It was mere days between Kerry's loss in 2004 and the appointment of Howard Dean as chief of the dems. We all know it was McCain and his ilk that lost us this election and yet we don't hear so much as a peep about replacing the RINO, country club blue bloods that lost us this election.
The GOP does not deserve our continued support. Let them watch their roles plummet and beg for us to come back. It's also better than scattering to a thousand independent parties creating a de facto parliamentarisn system at best or diluting ourselves to final impotence at worse.
BUT dot-dot-dot
If we drag the dems to the right the worst election defeat we could have would be a McCain-esque blue dog democrat.
We also need to give the blue dogs already there a bigger voice. So far they are our best hope for keeping Barry in check.
