It might be a better idea if the Republican brand had any credibility. It doesn't -- its only "brand" is "hypocrite," bad risk, inconsistency, and unreliability. A REPUBLICAN created the EPA, a REPUBLICAN okayed Campaign Finance Reform that prohibits free speech, a REPUBLICAN created state-run health care in Massachusetts, etc. etc.
Like it or not, my idea will not result in Rat majorities for decades to come. Yours will.
