The idea is not new. It is how Hillary, Bill, Obama, Nancy Pelosi etc. got where they are. I do not know if it would work among conservatives. We are too independent minded. As conservatives, we do not work well with group think or compromise, but within principles.

The problem with the Republican big tent, as it is right now is: it is broad as the ocean. The concept is not necessarily "the solution" ; but the concept is how the left works, strategically,and is at least an alternative to the -- "I am out of here," position."

My point is that, rather than despondency, this may be the one thing we can do. Is it do-able? I do not know. Like Fred Thompson, I am concerned for my Grand children's future, at this point.

You know what, I tried to make it clear I was not dissing your suggestion, and I’m not going to now.

It’s going to take a few weeks before I even want to hear the words ‘Repbulican Party’ again.

As for launching an effort to move it to the right, that is completely out of the question for me at this stage.

Your idea may be one of the best ideas to come down the pike in decades, I’m just in no frame of mind to entertain the premise right now.

Please don’t take that personally. That’s not my intention at all. You posted something that made sense to you and I do not want to detract from it in any way shape or form.

Take care.
