Raine, thank you - for once, someone who is at least a little courteous in trying to convince me to help.
It was the same during the campaign: “Support my candidate or you’re a gay idiot.” Really got me to think positively about their issue.
The simple fact is, the only way the Right can win right now, is not to lose. And trying to keep this SCOTUS stuff going is a guaranteed loss. The Right needs to pick their battles better. We are not fighting a culture war any longer; we are now an insurgency.
See, I kind of feel we need to go at this with two fronts. No DOUBT at all that we need to replace the Republicans that are bending over and acting like Democrats! We totally agree on that.
But also, at the same time, if there is a faction of the group who wants to pursue a possibility, slender though it may be, why not let them? I intend to multitask myself.
I do not think this should be the only one at the forefront though. I think this issue should be made aware to the public, but also not be the ONLY game plan. You know?
Oh yeah, and you’re a gay idiot.
(wink wink)
I think you are right about being in an insurgency. I disagree that this issue is a big loser. Heck it's barely penetrated the national consciousness. If it's for naught, which seems increasingly likely, it will be soon forgotten. But it does have the potential for a really big payoff. Sort of like a buried 105 round, on a little traveled road.
Then there is the little matter of our oaths. Ignoring a potentially ineligible pretender to the office of President, is not exactly supporting the Constitution against domestic enemies or possibly foreign enemies, come to that. Besides which, this whole thing may yet be resolved without a hot insurgency. Although time for that is running out, and finding out in 2010 that the President is an illegal alien, or otherwise ineligible to the office, is not going to help keep things cool.
