What's the alternative? A third party................
The alternative is to organize a third party of dissafected conservatives who will target only RINOS. Think about it. Run conservative candidates against the likes of McCain, Snowe, Collins, in their home states, in both primaries and general elections. DO NOT run a candidate against GOP presidential candidate unless he/she is to far to left. Who cares if Dems win seats? The RINOS never vote with us on the most important issues anyway.
Think it out, no incumbent RINO or wannabe would want to be ousted or defeated if they had conservative opposition on the ballot. In fact, we would be able to exercise more leverage than ever. We have been courted, then marginalized for too many years.
Bring the best and brightest on to the cause. Target our money where timidity dwells. It could work.
Should have said "risk being outed or defeated".
I still think we need a third party.
I like it.
None of us like the damned RINOS. We'd ALL like to have real Conservatives in the majority. But in some states, the best we can do, to get someone with an R next to his/her name elected, is to run a damned RINO; especially re Snowe, Collins, and Chaffe. A Conservative just would NOT be electable in those states.
SO WHAT ?, you might ask. Well, without a majority in the House and Senate, that means that GOPers don't head any committees. You want the likes of Charlie Rangel and Hillary and Biden etc. to head all of the committees and run both Houses? Arlen may be a damned RINO, but do you REALLY want him to head the Judiciary committee, or a damned Dem? And please don't tell me that there's no difference; there is.
