"What you propose is what I propose; that we heal ourself. I truly believe that would be far more easily accomplished, what with the differences the Republican Party faces, than the chance that the Democratic Party can accomplish the same."

AMEN! But I am afraid our solution to our problem is going to be somewhat painful. I see us having to lose some power to gain more than we had. We have to "not" settle for Spectre's and the Snows. I know this is anecdotal, but here in Charlotte, we are just loaded with RINOs. These are the candidates the republican party are supporting. They have been scared by Pravda West (the Charlotte Observer) into marginalizing any real conservative that runs, afraid their pals at the country club wont invite them to any cocktail parties. Four years ago we had a State House speaker that had a legitimate majority, and he illegally created a co-speakership with a Rat. It seems the only way to get these spineless idiots out is to not vote for them but that give us the alternative, a Rat, but what's the difference. It's a nasty catch 22, but is there another choice?

I hear ya! As you state it's not going to be easy. But in the long run I still believe that's better than cutting our nose off to spite our face.

The first objective is to get a handle on GOP leadership, and get them turned around to conservative core values. One way is to withhold donations to anyone but candidates who display proper credentials. Money speaks and it shouldn't take too long for the GOP to get the message. This would take funding candidates directly (not through the GOP machine) but that would be a big wake up call to the GOP.

Thanks to you and all the others who have repsonded to my uneducated ramblings. I'ts been an enjoyable and enlightening discussion.
