We would be far more effective at our local levels working to fill them with Tom Tancredos, Ron Pauls and Tom DeLays than raging on with each other over just one (albeit an important one) position.Problem with that approach is the RNC of late has been attempting to replace and/or neuter those who don't march in lockstep with the new faction of the party. They've given Ron Paul trouble for years, now Tancredo is persona non grata at the WH. Hard to support a party that stabs it's conservatives in the back.
Yes, that is true - but, assuming a best case scenario, if ALL of them were pure ideological conservatives, then it would be impossible to stab them in the back -- the party leadership necessarily would become equally conservative.
The best we can do is proceed one seat at a time.
