So what does the GOP want Poo? Money? Votes? (prop 187) protest? Shall we write our representatives for the 10,000 time? Shall we send them chocolates? Bananas? Email them? Support David Dreier? Shall we give up more tax money?
The important issue is bolded for your easy reference.
Bottom line: keeping you happy has to generate more votes than not keeping you happy.
And, by and large...keeping any single-issue voting group happy is a demonstrated vote-loser. The inability of your faction to field viable candidates in the primaries is a symptom of this. To get his base to turn out, the anti-illegal immigrant candidate has to adopt rhetoric that scares off the less committed on this issue and convinces them, "If this guy gets nominated, we are going to get creamed in November, and the Democrat is guaranteed to be much worse on every issue, not just this one." They are the mirror-image of the Michael Moore/Howard Dean wing of the Democrat Party.
You want this perception to change, you're going to have to demonstrate that you can generate more votes than you drive away.
Pick a candidate you know will be solid on this issue in your district in 2006, and commit to backing him even if he doesn't satisfy your itching ears at each and every opportunity. Get others to do likewise. Get him elected.
If you can do it in a previously Democratic district, so much the better. Winning a seat away from the opposition would give your candidate a lot of influence at the get-go. Look at the influence Duncan Hunter has--he got it because he won a district that had been yellow-dog Democrat for decades.
And you're going to have to accept that changing the situation is a long-term project. It didn't happen overnight; it is not going to be fixed overnight. The Founding Fathers did not make a system of government that would generate results quickly; they designed it to prevent that from happening.
