So, it is long past tiem for conservatives to take the respendican party to the wood shed. If that mean withholding support and letting a few go down in flames as an example to the rest so be it. Socialism fast or socialism slow what is the big difference.

As I wrote in post 30, currently the federal judiciary is the only reason (OK, Barbara Mikulski is probably the other one). BTW, not all is lost. After all, before the New Deal the Republican Party was considered the "more liberal" of the two parties, then both parties had their liberal and conservative wings fairly balanced, and finally in the 60s the conservatives started taking control of the Republican Party. So maybe in 50-60 years the Republican Party will finally become a truly conservative party :-).

"Socialism fast or socialism slow what is the big difference"

As far as I'm concerned, that's all we can affect by voting, and then its only a maybe.
