You folks should learn to play well WITHIN the GOP and fight for your goals from the inside.

The Republican Party no longer listens to the voters who put them there. Just ask my mother, voted Republican all her life (with one exception, John Kennedy) and now has totally given up and voted for Kerry! (gasp!) I never thought I'd see the day but I never thought I'd see my own disgust when our own government has become so corrupt and no longer listens to the people. Admit it, our Senate is bought and paid for! You know it's true! It's time to put Senators in that represent the people of the US.

Right on! And nothing will make them listen faster than to make them lose an election (an off-year, non presidential election at that) due to the votes going to a more conservative party. And if they (the Republicans) don't wake up, then the Constitution Party will emerge to become the second major party.
