Republicans--Stop Threatening to Cause Defeat

I love the right side of the blogosphere. I'm a regular reader of many blogs, and and occasional reader of many more. I also listen to a lot of conservative talk radio. One thing I keep seeing over and over, and saw just now on Michelle Malkin's awesome blog, was a threat that "If this is what Sen. Frist thinks Americans "expect" and "deserve," the GOP is in for a very rude awakening in November." The subject was the apparent immigration deal.

There can't be much thought put into a threat that Republicans won't elect Republican leaders. Who else are we going to vote for? Would we feel like we "really got those bastards" if suddenly the Democrats were in charge? Cutting one's nose off to spite one's face has never been a good plan. It would NOT be a good lesson to Republican leaders to have liberals running the country for the next two years and castrating Pres. Bush for the remainder of his term.

Maybe we could just show our apathy by not voting at all. SAME result.

And, we have GOT to be aware that our enemies (and I don't just mean political opponents in the US, I mean the Islamofacists) are just waiting for us to elect weaker leaders, or to have Bush weakened beyond hope. They're trying to help it happen, and they're hoping that, if worst comes to worst, they don't have to wait much longer than Nov. '08.

We can NOT give up the majority. Yes, some of these people are acting weak and don't seem to represent the conservatives that elected them. It's a difficult position for the party to be in. But the answer is not to give up the majority. The answer is to get extremely vocal. The answer is to start putting these RINOs and near RINOs through some tough primary fights that let them know they have to come closer to the base, or we'll find someone who is. If you're not writing letters and e-mails to your congressmen and senators, START. Find solid conservatives in your district or your state and start sending your funds to them, and let the RNC know that you're sending your contributions to better conservatives.

We do not want to go weak (or weaker) for even a moment. We wouldn't want to live with the results in domestic politics, and we definitely don't want to live with the result in the war against Islamofacism.
