The most powerful reply to this Emmanuel strategy of electing conservatives and then forcing them to vote for Pelosi as Speaker and toe the party line for fear of fundraising abandonment — is what it has always been.
The GOP must face these Democrat conservatives and make them toe the same line.
“Vote for Pelosi as Speaker and you are no Conservative.”
Say that over and over again. Frankly, there need be no other issue. That issue can define all the others. “If you vote for Pelosi as Speaker, then you are pro Choice. If you vote for Pelosi as Speaker you are pro Gun Control. If you vote for Pelosi as Speaker you are a cut and runner.”
Enough with this silliness of demanding that candidates thump their chest and toss red meat to the right wing. The correct way to campaign is to expose a Democrat for what he is.
Bump. That, mt FRiend, is a winning strategy. Now we just need to find candidates who will run with it, and good luck with that.

Greetings Owen:
Excellent platform, follows the KISS principle. McCain will bring no conservatives on his coattails.

The problem is House Republicans long ago forfeited that ability. They have made themselves indistinguishable in many respects from House Democrats.
