Perhaps now is the time to indulge in apostasy.
For some time now I have been suggesting that at least in a few races conservatives ought to vote for a third-party candidate to ( in the euphemism of the French in World War I on executing mutineers), encourage the others. I was interested to hear that Mark Levin on his radio show two days ago has sent up a trial balloon to the same effect. Levin does not suggest that this should be done in all races against all Rino incumbents who prevail in primaries and win the nomination, but it should be done selectively to make a point.
It occurs to me that the worst of all possible worlds is for conservatives sit home and watch a Republican incumbent go down to defeat and instead of being credited with holding the balance of power, conservatives will get the blame for being sore heads. We will then go into another election cycle in which the Republican establishment will blame conservatives for yet another loss and insist that a Rino offers the only hope of victory in the general election.
In other words the one thing we conservatives ought not to do is to passively defeat a Rino like Mitch McConnell. We should either openly oppose him with a third-party candidate or we should vote for him to a man, even if every man who pulls the lever with one hand is holding his nose with the other.
The problem is we do not yet have a vehicle within which we can organize so that we can show the world that we are in fact acting in concert and we will act in concert again and again until the establishment has its epiphany. Otherwise we live in the worst of both possible worlds, a Rino victory in spite of conservative opposition or a Rino defeat because conservatives are sore heads. That is not the point we want to make. We want to be a force to be feared and we want to affect and ultimately control policy.
