It’s not an either-or thing. Rush is right, but we don’t have to put up another McCain. I say look to the example of Reagan in 1980. He beat the RINOs in the party by taking his small-government, pro-American republic message directly to the American people and building a majority with that.

He didn’t stomp out of the Party in a hissy fit or spend his time trying to defeat the milquetoast Pubbies in office. He simply and unapologetically, made his plain-spoken case to the American people.

That’s what we need to do and support candidates in doing, and all of this Democrats and Republicans are morally relatively equivalent is dangerous hogwash. A third-party would be a killer to this country right now, because it would cement the Marxists in power.

Reagan didn’t just go to the people. He did indeed compromise on policy when he had to, and furthermore he refrained from alienating anyone he didn’t have to. His administration was quite eclectic besides.

Excellent summation:
