I think I bring excellent arguments to the table (as do the many Freepers who offer favorable responses and supportive Freepmails.)
I do post this "manifesto" a lot, but that is not evidence that I make no valid arguments. I post a lot because, like TV commercials, you need repetition before you reach a large audience. And I think that my arguments deserve being heard by a large audience.
I understand that you disagree, even as the Republican leadership is lowering expectations about what they'll do if they take the Senate in 2014.
And maybe you missed this latest gem about what John McCain is saying will happen if the Republicans win the Senate: “I will work very hard to go back to 60 votes,” said Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), who boldly predicts a Republican Senate would process Obama’s nominees “more rapidly than [Democrats] do today.”
And as if that's not enough, now John Boehner is boasting that "very few" House Republicans will oppose him.
You say: Defeating the GOP establishment is the way to achieve the results that conservatives desire. And we are doing this in every election cycle.
Well, I have to admit that I wasn't too impressed at this year's Republican primaries, where the GOPe declared outright war on conservative candidates, and managed to have virtually its whole slate of RINOs win the ballot slots. (True, Eric Cantor was a victory for our side, but it's not enough.)
How many election cycles do you think this country can survive with conservatives settling for beating GOPe candidates in onesies and twosies?
The GOPe needs to be shaking in horror, and the only way that will happen is if they understand they will not win elections without the base. And the only way they will understand that is if the base refuses to show up.
I am not quitting. I am fighting with the only weapon I have available -- my refusal to keep playing Lucy's football game. How about you?
