but to let it all go to the rats is insanity

I respectfully disagree. The reason people don't understand is that they are too close to the fire. I believe that you and I want the same thing. However, you are too focused on the battle rather than the war. Republicans win the battles time after time but the war is being lost. The liberal agenda has been advanced more in the last 6 years than in the previous 30.

Many conservatives have recognized this and realize that to win the war, we need to lose this battle. If the Republicans win again and continue down their misguided path, the war will surely be lost.

Another way to look at is to compare it to sports teams. Sometimes you need to cut under-performing veterans in order to bring in younger players. The result will surely be a losing season or two but the objective is to have a very competitive team in two to three years. The difference being having a mediocre team for years or a championship contender in two to three years.

Keep in mind, the objective is to have a conservative government in place as soon as possible. When you analyze the situation, the only real way to accomplish this quickly is to vote against those Republicans who have sold us out.

Your sports analogy is idiotic. In sports, if you lose, you get the better draft picks. Also with the salary cap, a winning team often can not keep its best players.

Politics is just the opposite. The party that wins gets the first draft picks because in politics, the party that wins gets to make the rules. Also, in politics, there is a reverse salary cap. If you win, people give you money.

Bottom line, in sports the game is rigged to have competitive play. In politics, the winners rig the game so there will never be fair play.
