Do you have a solution?

That was detailed in the article:

We must not fund the current Republican machine anymore. Money is the mother's milk of politics as they say. If we want real leadership to emerge in the once proud Republican party we will have to starve the current leadership. We must let them know that they cannot come to us the next election cycle and give us conservative platitudes and expect us to march like good little robots and pull the "R" lever. To hell with that. They do not deserve our support.

DO NOT give support to any member of the party until the party declares war on the anti-American trash. They must fear us and our wrath more than they fear unfavorable press or their foursome on the golf course.

I used to be of the mind that withholding support from limpwristed Republican candidates was an example of "cutting off one's nose to spite one's face." I now realize that mindlessly cheerleading or pulling the lever for any generic "R" is what has led us to the current state of affairs. The only way we will ever enact change is to force the hand of our "leadership."

Good point!

We didn't have to do that in our state party, but by remaining involved and engaged, we replaced the prior liberal "leadership" (in a way sadly -- I really liked and respected some of these folks, though others of their cadre were simply no good at all) with a good solid conservative. Now we need to rally behind him, and turn Washington into a red-blooded American state (for the first time?).
