BTW, you, like so many other “lesser of two evilers” can never answer the eternal question: What has your strategy done to stop, let alone reverse the trend by BOTH parties towards the monolithic bureaucracy we now have?
An excellent question, especially as it applies to the Republican party. Conservatives, in the Reagan era, seized political power for the first time since the 20's by electing Ronald Reagan. There will be no Ronald Reagan miracle this time around. Political power will come one race at a time and it will take a long time. The easy races have already been won, no RINOs in those seats. But you are not going to win those that we still need to take by backing someone who can never win that district. Find a candidate who is more conservative than the incumbent and more conservative than the GOPe guy who want to stuff his pockets. You will be able to tell when this is happening when the House leadership starts to change.
This is what the Democrats do. They don't care who wins as long as they vote for and with the leadership. Once we can change the leadership, then we can start imposing some discipline on the troops.
