You are right to encourage conservatives to get involved with the party organization. I don't think that Rinos in Congress are the problem. The problem is that party establishment. Washington, inside the beltway, we know better than you, attitude that's the problem. We need people who realize that the conservative message can be very attractive.
The reason why minoritys vote democratic in such large numbers is because the Repubs in power think that you have to act like a liberal demo to get their vote. I remember last election the "republican outreach" to minorities included a radio ad which apologized for republican past actions. What @#$%#@@$! Instead of accepting and pandering to rat lies. Republicans should champion their history as defenders of human rights. And explain how the conservative agenda will help the poor. It's the Democrats who should apologize.
You nailed it!
