well, atleast I have a passion for something.

I am wondering if I will ever live to see a conservative President. Are you just giving up, throwing in the towel ?

Good grief, no!! But going off half cocked is not going to accomplish anything. I spent many years working in a state legislature trying to advance the very issues about which you are passionate. I know how the process works. You MUST form coalitions. It's the only way to advance an agenda. You cannot do that by wanting to purge everyone who does not agree with you.

You have no idea how many times I was totally exasperated by those on my own side but at the end of the day, we needed every possible vote we could get. I know the anger and the desire to wring people's throats. Get over it. You cannot change certain things, such as how the system works and you cannot control everyone else.

Well, since you're a "young conservative", you've probably got at least 40 years before you have to meet with Obama's death panels.

So relax and be patient. A lot can happen in 40 years. You may live long enough to see the next Reagan, Goldwater or Eisenhower. My money is on David Petraeus.

So you think that Republicans are a bigger enemy than any Democrat?

You’ll ‘purge’ the Republican Party (which you clearly clearly do not belong to), and then you will tackle the Dems because they are less pesky than Dems who won’t toe your line with Palin?

Nuts.
