Seize control of the GOP.
I agree...but to me...the best way is to show them that we will NOT stand for the running of RINO's. We will not support RINO's. If they run them...then our vote will go somewhere else. Hopefully they will eventually get the message.
When the party establishment backs a RINO...and you and I vote for that RINO just so a dem doesn't win...then we are giving them positive reinforcement. We are rewarding their behavior. The rat will continue to do what it does because it gets away with it. The GOP will continue to be DEM light...and move to the left...slower...but surely.
When you and I tell them to pound sand...and those in power LOSE it because those RINO's they support lose. That sets up negative reinforcement. When they start supporting strong conservative candidates...they will see the punishment cease. This leads the rats to avoid that negative condition of losing. That leads to negative reinforcement of the behavior WE want...which is the party's support of strong conservative candidates. Any LEADER in the party that supports a RINO needs to be punished. When they get in line...we will take the punishment away and that lack of negative stimuli will yeild positive results.
It's all very psychological. ;-)
I agree we need to seize control of the GOP. The only way to do that is to reject the RINOS so overwhelmingly that they are afraid to run anymore of them.
