Northern Light,
I have heard this suggestion many times since November. It sounds a bit absurd to suggest the solution to a shrinking party is to get rid of supporters.
Oh, that would be very true if I thought all voters accounted for and remaining static at the polling booth – but history says that untrue as the Reagan Revolution attested. To win without principle gains one nothing. And I’ve been voting for the lesser of two evils for 20 years now following your grand plan.
I think there was a party that insisted on complete agreement by all members. It was the Communist Party of The Soviet Union.
Well if Arlen Specter has been of benefit to the Republican party for many years now, why is that I invariably find myself in disagreement with him; and how would that differ from my belief of say Harry Reid?
Or is that what makes one a communist now? Surely you can come up with a better analogy than that.
