I don’t think we’ll influence Mittens at all, once he wins, assuming he wins. His elite friends will banish every nasty conservative tea-partay type from beyond his influence range. He’ll do amnesty, an AWB (if he can), etc. He’ll be better than Obama in some ways, but in some ways worse, because he’ll be effective at building coalitions with “moderates” in both parties, where Obama just went nowhere other than Obamacare.
You could very well be right. He is surrounded by some of the worst RINO bastards to ever prance across a lawn in bunny slippers.
Nonetheless, who are we, if we do not try?
We must.
As an observation, meme-generation and meme-propagation works just as well in friendly (well, friendliER) administrations.
Get the minds, we got their ass.
