If you act strongly and cause a formal schism, how many might become lost?

When treating cancer you do not treat it slowly. You cut it out and blast what's left with radiation.

As an aside I think that's what went wrong with our Republican Revolution, we bought into the incrementalism trap.

Maybe it's not cancer. Maybe it's a pathogen. Let it run its course and the body will recover. Treat it with strong antibiotics and you run the risk of creating more virulent strains.

The biggest problem is that there are more Republicans than there are conservatives. And there is not a large enough consensus for radical change. So incrementalism is all we have. The people may say they want to cut gov't, but they really do like their programs.
