Fair enough. But we'd have to be willing to lose several elections to the Dems while the Republican coalition fractured and was rebuilt, and hope to God that whatever other party comes along doesn't fall victim to the same tone-deafness and cronyism the major parties have.

Maybe...it's just me, but, personally I'm not ready to cut my own throat while standing knee deep in hog $h!! and hope the $h!! clogs up the glash and stops the bleeding before I bleed to death.

My original post basically said we should work with the Republicans - they are the major players that most suit our philosophy. I was pointing out to another poster who disagreed what we'd have to be willing to put up with to do otherwise, implicitly saying that it's too high a price.

But you got right to the point in YOUR response. I like that!
