I followed my own advice and re-registered… as a republican! So that my vote would count in this district. ( It has also given me a way to rock back neocons who strawman me as a ‘lefty’.)
Liberals need to realize that the way to defeat this BEFORE McVeighs erupt everywhere is to get aggressive, but in the smart way. NOT by dissing conservatism, per se… conservative districts deserve to be represented by conservatives. Rather, the solution lies in seeking and finding hundreds of ex-officer Blue Dogs to run in every red district… even knowing that they will be pains in the neck to liberals, when they get into Congress. If this were done enough, then the GOP will go to well-deserved extinction.
Yes, the dems will then split, so? Libs vs blue dogs? We should be so lucky.
But it is all about showing Red America that the neocons are TRAITORS TO CONSERVATISM. It is a concept that could be a sell.
