Dead end. The only way to make a place for ourselves in the GOP is to stage a coup. Are you prepared to do that? More to the point, are conservatives prepared to do that?
Personally, I wouldn’t waste my time. Even if the RINOs were ousted, they and their Demrat buddies would be in court quicker than you can say lawyer. The ability to run conservative candidates in the New GOP would be tied up for years as multiple court challenges were dealt with. Onada and his angry band of commies will see to that.
Actually I *am* prepared to support the wholesale change of Republican leadership.
Over the next decade I believe a real Conservative party may emerge. But lacking a miracle this cannot happen - including building an effective political party infrastructure - in time for 2012 much less 2010 IMHO.
Now, if there has been significant Conservative action behind the scenes, with people like Sarah, and they present a workable plan then I'd vote for it. But I see no evidence of this happening and history doesn't indicate that Conservatives work that way unless they've finally taken a page out of the left's playbook. (The left has been active 100% of the time since the 1960s at least. And, as we've noticed, they are now in power.)
