False dichotomy. Other alternatives are possible like a split of the R party and rise of a fiscal conservative party. Initially that will benefit D, but could save America in the long run.

Not a chance. Taking our minority in the Senate and making it a smaller minority helps about as much as opening up a screen door in a canoe.

I empathize with you ideologically, but politically it is suicide.

Politics is all about numbers. Even the Socialist Nazis (when they were running for office in Germany in the 1920's and 1930's) understood this. It wasn't until they won more seats in the Reichstag that they flexed more muscle. Communists did the same thing in countries before they took absolute power. Right now, the Republicans (weak as they are) is the ONLY check on Obama becoming an absolute Dictator in the nation. That isn't hyperbole, it is fact. Via Judas Roberts, we have lost the courts. We don't have the FBI, Justice Dept, or CIA. The DoD is kept on a very short leash by the White House and Panetta. We don't have the Senate.

All we have is the House. To split that in two will wipe us out politically.

Yes, but rapidly. No pain no gain. Leaving the R as is will wipe us out slowly.
