If the Republicans ignore this issue and end up losing an election they otherwise would have won, then they just might be forced to get their act together for the next election, whereas if we keep re-electing ineffectual or incompetent candidates because we are afraid to support someone who is not from the same mold as all other politicians who have failed us, then both parties can just keep pissing on us, because they know we'll just sit there and take it.

Well put. Losing one election, even in 2008, is a small thing in light of the bigger picturer. Either the GOP will emerge more conservative or a 3rd party will represent the conservative base. Either is better, since we are not represented now!

I agree, SV. I can count the real conservatives in Congress on one hand. It's time for a third party who will actually represent American citizens/taxpayers before our republic dissolves.
