This very race demonstrates exactly what we're talking about. All this talk about taking the party back is just talk from what I see.
We don't donate to the party.
We don't support these candidates.
We don't even agree with these candidates.
And yet we're supposed to vote for them, because they have an R after their name?
I am sorry, but that is the strategy that has gotten our country into this mess. This is the strategy that has put these people in charge of “our party” and put us in a position to have to ‘take our party back?’ If we have not taken our party back by now, after last fall's defeats, we will not take congress back in any meaningful way in 2010. The only thing going to be on the ticket is a bunch of left leaning centrist republicans. Not only are Americans being ignored by DC, they are being ignored by the RNC.
Perhaps it is time to revisit history and learn the lessons of a successful third party overthrow for 2012.
“...revisit history and learn the
lessons of a successful third party...”
