>> What are you going to do to make your cause more successful in 2002, or 2004, or 2008, or 2020, or 2040? <<

simple. you take a clear stance for what you believe in, draw clear distinctions between the two parties, and then let the chips fall where they may. sure, you may lose, but then what? you let the other side take full responsibility for their misguided policies, and subsequently when everything goes to hell in a handbasket there will be a clear choice for voters to see. as it stands now, with the republicrats conspiring with the democrats to remain in power, we have all this bickering about who's to blame for what's wrong in america. it's hard to make the case to the american people that liberals or democrats are to blame for what's wrong with our country when the republican party is part of the complicity.

bahh. some of the best victories by conservatives in recent years were direct repudiations of the liberal agenda. look at what happened when we put carter in office with a democrat controlled congress. the country fell apart and reagan won in a landslide, taking the senate with him. look what happened when we let those communists billary clinton on the loose with a once again a democrat controlled congress. the conservatives were swept into office in 1994--a direct repudiation of those despots bill and hillary, and a direct repudiation of their marxist proposals to seize control of our economy.

i see. you would suggest an abandonment of your principles in an effort to get elected instead. what good does it do to get elected if you've compromised your agenda so much that you can't enact it.
