wow. i'm surprised that this is controversial. this article is more or less describing the losing RINO strategy. this is exactly the ends justifies the means strategy and further more, this is exactly the strategy that eventually corrupted the Republican party brand (which caused it to abandon it's fiscal issues), finally collapsing the entire party and rendering it powerless. one of my goals as an individual in the teaparty is to first try to resuscitate the republican party while fighting a holding action against the statists. we're succeeding so far. all we need to do to blow it is to go back to a failed stategy. even this guy's 50/50 premise is obviously false since we are a center-right country. if we are not then we'll lose anyway. and i would rather lose if that is the cost of maintaining my principles. but i think we can win with principle. remember the teaparty also stands for the founders and the constitution.

No one is suggesting anyone give up any principles.
Center right we are ... you are correct. So build on that and capture the mood turning our way on fiscal issues.
