I am trying to convince you and the Republican leadership that Republicans win elections and gain power when they are at their most conservative. And they lose ground or power when they move to the middle or worse to the left. With the single exception of the move to the right in 1994, Republicans are no longer taking the country to the right. They are in fact enacting the agenda of the left. And with each election, the Republicans lose more seats.
I am suggesting that we can drag the Republicans back on track by our discussions on this forum. If we don't succeed in dragging them back, then yes by all means, let the Democrats gain control. The Republican leadership is smart enough to figure out that if they want to win in 2004, they will have to be nice to Conservatives and do what conservatives want if the Republicans want to regain power. In the mean time, Democrats won't be able to do much damage if Bush is a real conservative. His veto should be virtually bullet proof. Surely the Republicans could muster that much.
If I am wrong about this, it really isn't going to matter much. A Cato paper concludes that there is no second best alternative to privatization.

The Democratic Party is hopelessly corrupt because it is based on a corrupt principle. No man has the right to take the property of another man without his permission even to give it to some else who needs it. No man can be empowered by government to do what he cannot do for himself. Democrats maybe our ally in the war on terrorism, but the Democrats remain the enemy of freedom just as the terrorists and the Communist party, the Democrats’ first cousins, are the enemies of freedom. America will never be safe as long as a single Democrat holds elected public office.
