You see, you're wrong in your initial premise. The conservative grassroots aren't leaving the Republican Party in the great numbers you seem to imagine they are. They're dissatisfied with what the GOP's giving them by way of candidates, but they aren't running to any other party. If we seize the GOP machinery and put actual conservative candidates up for election, the grassroots will be right there behind them. You just can't get your head around the idea that I'm advocating taking the GOP over, not trying to force the current leaders to do what we want.

Oh really. That's interesting because at Resistnet.com there is a similar discussion of leaving versus staying with the OP. The National coordinator, Darla Dawald pointed out many of the Precinct Chair positions were not filled by Conservatives in the last election and practically implored Conservatives to fill those positions.

That's tantamount to saying if they had rearranged the deck chairs the Titantic would not have sunk.

You can't get your head wrapped around the fact this same loser strategy has been pushed on FR in the past and has been rejected by many conservatives because they've had enough of the socialist light party. Keep in mind FR is a Conservative website, not a Republican website.
