Here's reality: The GOP is growing more liberal and spineless by the day

The reality is, there are not enough conservative Republicans in Congress to provide the critical mass required to implement the best conservative ideas in the form of legislation.

The solution is not to sulk, withdraw from the fray, and allow the Democrats back in. The solution is to hold EVERY Republican seat, replace vulnerable RINOs in primary battles where this can be done, and work to replace vulnerable Democrats with the most conservative competitive Republicans that can be rallied around. This cycle recurs every two years, providing optimistic and dedicated conservatives a continuous opportunity to progress.

See, you're upset because we've only been able to build a Yugo from the raw materials and engineers we've voted into power. If you want to cruise in a BMW, you need to keep the raw materials you have and vote in more and better additional materials and engineers.

It's simple, really. We could crush the Democrats and increase the proportion of true conservatives in Congress. All we have to do is DECIDE to do that and get it done. Will we? Will you?

Okay. I did the first part. I decided. Now what? The "get it done" part is a little harder.

I have written every Republican group that asks me for money and said I'm very disappointed in the direction they've taken lately - AND I gave them a little more money. So far the response has been to ask for more money.

Paying for a really crappy lesser of two evils is discouraging. Not paying (or voting) for it seems to give the greater of two evils a better chance of dominating. The "anti-ameliorationist" approach seems, at best, risky. But there seems to be no way to get their attention.

You found the key to the map! Bravo!
