The GOP needs to know there are two parts to the equation, big business with money and voters with votes. Grassroots voters can beat money when they put forth a big effort.

The GOP needs to withhold money from traitors up for reelection and give it to up and coming conservatives.

The President and Congress needs to be reminded they are on a team and they need to be a team players to accomplish team goals. They need to dance with those that brought them to the ball, If they don't agree on major issues, they should change teams.

Both parties need to be reminded that while we are a Republic, to go against a clear majority means to loose.

Coalitions with common goals like in Iraq can come together to defeat the status quo. Look at how African Americans and the AFL-CIO are positioning themselves on illegal immigration. Issues that have profound effects will always supersede smaller less impacting issues.Illegal immigration and amnesty or legalization may change the course of this nation. I have seen no town hall meetings or public debate on this important issue. Why?Because they are trying to cram it down our throats as they know if what they are trying to do reaches daylight and is exposed they will all be seen for what they are -self serving sellouts,

The GOP is missing the largest opportunity of our lifetimes to grab the majority and annihilate the liberals, Instead by trying to woo the wrong people and going contrary to their principles, they are risking their own annihilation.

The power of a third party or group with major discontent with a party is that their votes and money (power)can spoil the game for one of the other parties. It's like a Police Officers gun, it is there for defense, but if the bad guys know they will never use it it has no power of deterrence.

The GOP needs to know the base and the majority are not afraid to wield their power.(not literally) I am not for giving dems anything, but there is a point where if "warning shots" are fired (as now) and the GOP still refuses to yield, it maybe time to use that power. It is certainly time to remind them in no uncertain terms that WE the PEOPLE have that power and let them know/think that we are not afraid to use it. If they don't think it will be used it is worthless and will change nothing. Is the base bluffing as in poker? Are they willing to go all in and risk losing to gain what they want? Ask the first President Bush what he thinks about calling bluffs...no one knows what someone else will do in that voting booth behind a curtain....those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it...

The GOP leadership needs to take a walk over to the Senate and to the WH this week and have a real heart to heart talk with those who have R's after their names while they still can.
