The GOP is very corporatist in this sense and will always, barring an indictment, support the incumbent.
Well, we the people need to stand up and step in for Simcox, Hayworth, or whoever the best primary opponent against McCain ends up being.
We need to organise to let the GOP (and this applies most to registered GOP) know that they will not get a dime from us until they support conservative candidates - even in primaries against entrenched, RINO incumbents. Not a single dime. In fact, we need to organise our own CONSERVATIVE PAC which is completely unaffiliated with the GOP in any way, shape, or form and which will be dedicated to supporting CONSERVATIVE candidates - whatever their party label might be - in elections.
I don't believe we need to "throw all incumbents out." I'd kinda like to see folks like Michelle Bachmann, Sarah Palin, Jim DeMint, etc. stay in office. But I don't believe in rallying around the incumbent either, if he or she is a RINO, just because they have my party's label.
And face it - the issue of illegal immigration alone is important enough to toss McCain onto the heap, even looking aside at all the other junk he's done.
Folks, can you imagine what would happen if 10 million conservative families (and they are out there, yes) each gave $100 to a conservative PAC? That'd be $1 BILLION dollars. That's a lot more money than Obama had. Imagine if we conservatives all went in and pooled our resources and used them to flood conservative candidates like Simcox and Toomey with support?
PAC's are expensive to set up and administer. We need to as the Warren Zevon song said, "..send money, guns and lawyers..."
Maybe not the guns but the money and lawyers are definitely required. And then how do you reach 10 million families and convince them to donate, more money needed for fundraising?
Look, you are right a $1billion would get some attention since money is what talks in politics.
Also, I just threw out some possible problems but don't take that as an objection to your idea, just some questions on my part as to the mechanics of setting up a PAC.
