I initially dismissed the very idea. I'm not sure I could sleep at night. But... this is FR and I tend to be slow to dismiss things out of hand. Even some of our luniest of FRiends make salient and logical arguments that put liberal ideology in its place. So I have considered the pros, cons and ramifications. How could trying to get democrats to replace RINOs help our cause AS A LAST RESORT (following primaries) at election time?
Would we rather have a McCain or a Pelosi in the senate if we had to choose? We'll get some votes from McCain. But when it counts, he will single handedly convince several GOPers to vote for compromise or with the dems. Worse, he will advance policies, agendas and social change detrimental to our nation under the GOP banner (McCain/Fiengold, Amnesty, etc.). At least with a Pelosi, her position is known and that person would be more easily to target for replacement in some future election.
I'm still not sure where I stand on this dramatic pursuit. But I am listening to all ideas for now.
For me, most of this is re-arranging the deck chairs while the ship sinks. If there is any plan or strategy that will change the course of our great nation, it will be born out of some horrific happenstance or event that we have not yet conceived. Barring that, I fear we will ride this boat to the bottom before our voting citizenry decides to hold their breath and swim up for air. So, until we hit bottom, I'm up for anything that can be logically rationalized.
do you really think Pelosi/Obama/reid as your master is good?
