You bring up a good point. The sooner we beat their moderates, the faster Democrats become an extremist party that is intolerant and unfriendly towards any kind of centrism. There will be no one in their own party who can counsel moderation and they will go careening Left, out of control. I look forward to that.

Yes, but I for one dont want the other major party to be a party of lunatic leftists. It creates several problems:
1. First, the media will be gunning for them no matter how loony.
2. If they ever get in power, it will be awful!
3. Sending moderates into the GOP wont make our party more conservative, will it. We will have our own problems of intrparty squabbling because the moderates wont have any other place to go and will want to take over the GOP.

End result: We may end up with a rump leftist democrat party and a GOP run by moderates. (Think how Cali ran with Arnold.) Yes, it could be worse, but it could be better too.

Here is what I would prefer: The leftists get totally discredited - the media wakes up and turns against cultural marxism; then the Democrats wake up and become "moderates", so we are left with a 'moderate' Democrat party and a Conservative republican party. And the Conservatives win the elections.

I can dream cant I?

We can set this up in 2004 by doing 2 things - make the Democrats lose big in 2004 and convince them they lost big because they went too far left.
