REPUBLICAN IMPLOSION FROM WITHIN????
Over the past few days ive been beginning to watch C Span and cable news again. I am seeing the Christain right flexing and some moderate repubs are getting scared and speaking out. I know this may seem like sleeping with the devil but we should be supportive of the moderates over the next four years. They are closer to us than the bushies. The repub primaries are going to very interesting in '08 if pro choice, socially progressive RINO's (i.e. pataki, guiliani, governator, specter) go for the nomination. The fatass fallwells will frek out and the party will be as divded as the 60's dems were and implode from within. Look at some of these sites and see what im talking about. gopchoice.org moderaterepublican.net

KEEP HOPE ALIVE, KEEP YOUR MINDS OPEN.

"It" has happened and it will have consequences, and we will not escape facing the consequences.

What has happened is that an election was stolen. Whether we succeed in bringing it to the attention of the Amercian public or not, and whether the mass media covers it or not, stolen elections have consequences, one way or the other.

The alternative to pursuing it now is not some comfortable "work for 2006" relatively stable future. We pursue it aggressively now, or the next confrontation point will be much, much worse.

We can put the confrontation off, but we can't avoid it. The election was stolen for the purpose of stealing the government. The people who are stealing the government intend to use it. The way they intend to use it will not be pretty, and confronting them in the future will make this election fraud issue look like a picnic.

7. I hate to burst your bubbles but
the reThugs will NOT implode. They have their ways of smoothing out these things in their midst especially since they have the money to buy-off almost all their troublemakers. And they do keep their eyes on the price - CONTROL OF POWER!
Waiting and hoping for the reThugs to implode will only prevent us from facing our own issue of how to correct our disgraceful abandonment of the principles of our party in sheepish pursuit of attempts to be reThuglican-lite. A strategy envisioned and mandated by our "benevolent" DLC'ers that has "blessed" us with at least 3 successive election loses.

8. You (we) wish

The party is almost done purging the moderate elements within it.

They have either left, learned to swallow their pride and vote along with the fascists, or been bought out.

The only party I see collapsing is our own.

9. wishful thinking
Edited on Fri Nov-19-04 07:10 AM by xchrom
and it's a mistake to think that fundies have all the power -- fundies are tools.
and republicans have learned to march together.
strengthening the liberal/democratic party message and learning to go on the offensive and never coming off of it is the key to winning in contemporary politics.

10. Wrong board....
This place treats moderate DEMS like crap, what makes you think they'd be nice to moderate Republicans?
