re: #87 Shiplord Kirel

Seriously, it’s time to purge the Republican Party. Four years ago, we had some fun mocking DU for their purge of the Naderites but the otherwise delusional lefties might well have been on to something. We have to get these nuts out, or forever be a marginal and eccentric protest party with no chance of real power.
That seems to be fine with many of the real leaders of the fruitbat GOP, they would be perfectly happy if the Party of Lincoln never wins another election as long as it can still supply a gullible market for their books, videos, and health supplements.

Notice that the Dems didn’t start winning elections until 2006. They had to purge the Nader people, and start looking at why they were losing elections, instead of whining about stolen elections and an unfair media.

You can’t win unless you grab independents, moderates, and the centre.

You can’t win by purging everyone but the extremist elements.

But that’s what the GOP is currently doing. They say everyone is a RINO, and they’re crying that they only lost because of the media— stupid voters— any excuse other than reality: You lose an election because the electorate wanted the other guy.

The GOP has to purge the extremist elements and forge a philosophy that attracts moderates, independents, and people in the centre. If they really endorse fiscal conservatism, a lot of people who are Democrats would vote for them too.
