The only way I can exhibit tough love, other than keying a republicans car, or firebombing campaign headquarters, is to not vote republican. I choose the latter.
You can do better than be a totally futile defeatist. Figure out how we take the party back. There are still largely good folks, who have not sold out completely. They can be nurtured, protected, and encouraged to take on...and with a good tidal wave of our folks...replace out-right the enemies-within.
And even if you have nothing like any candidates of principle or character in your state...there is always your money that can go to the good ones elsewhere. The enemies within think nationally. So we need to do so as well.
E.g., When the Bush's backed Spectre over Pat Toomey...we had a clarifying moment to rally the base...which still had failed to recognize precisely how duplicitous the Bush's were. Have you seen how Bush is surreptitiously attacking Curt Weldon recently?? And there is no doubt whatsoever that Rove and Bush have attempted to destroy Tom Tancredo non-stop since BEFORE they got into the White House. And word is that Rove and Bush are now mortally afraid of J.D. Hayworth...an unreconstructed Reaganite who actually knows how to talk and reach the base...such that Rove is now trying to smear him as a bigot. Remind you of a previous tactic against Pat Buchanan?
Rather than effectively just going home...let's instead stop ineffectual efforts to form third parties...and recapture the Republican Party. And make it true to its roots. Its time to take the BALL AWAY from these juvenile delinquents.
