You would rather squander your chips, as you put it -—

WHERE?

As bad as it looks, the GOP is STILL the best hope we have.

Period.

I worked for twenty years to help "fix" the Republican Party. Sorry, but the old jalopy ain't worth the upkeep anymore. Even on the few days it's running the people with control of the steering wheel insist on following the Dems towards the socialist cliff.

Just let it go. Life is too short to spend it trying to repair the unrepairable. It's time for a new vehicle.

Bottom line is this: I don't care one way or the other about the survival of the Republican Party. But, I do care deeply about the survival of the republic and what the future holds for my children and grandchildren.

“the GOP is STILL the best hope we have”

The centrist, middle-of-the-road, moderate GOP?
Every article I’ve read on Specter’s defection describes him as a “moderate” Republican. Then they make a point of mentioning other “moderates”—like McCain, Snowe & Co. who want to: “bring the GOP to the center”.
You’ve drunk the MSM Kool-aid, Jayhawk/or Wildcat.
To the Associated Press, NYT & Co., “moderate” means Arlen Specter.
The “GOP moderates” can go pound sand in a rat-hole.
