Well, get your rear in gear and elect Republican Senators! When there are 66+ Senators (hopefully 70) from our party, then the people like Olympia Snow and John McCain will lose their leverage!

I'm a workin' on it, but I'm only one man - Hoping to help organize a Washington affiliate of the NF-RA, and I'm looking at working on Nethercutt's campaign aganst Osama Mama - and I know the Puget Sound Chapter of FR is going to do whatever we can to get her out (right, Libertina?)...

But, how many more of those left-wing republicans will switch parties if we gain numbers? That's part of why I have a low-tolerance of them. People like Jeffords...

66 or 70 Republican Senators? Why not 90?

Why not 400 Republican Congressmen, while we're at it?

This moving of the bar invites GOP unaccountability.

We were told in 2000 that we needed to take back the Senate to confirm conservative judges. Then the Democrats fought back. Our party wrung their hands in fury.

Now, we're told we need a veto-proof supermajority, or a rino-veto-proof superdupermajority.

Every election, politicians need to fear for their jobs. If a politician doesn't feel that fear, there is no leverage over him. Which voters do politicians fear the most?

The ones that make or break most elections, and those aren't committed, hell or high water voters, those are taken for granted.

Once a politician knows your vote is in the bag, he'll put golf spikes in your back to get to a swing voter.

Getting rid of Democrats is only half the battle; the other half must be fought simultaneously, and that is to get Republicans to act like they have enough of a spine to stand up for the values of their constituents.
