A truer statement was never written. I continue to believe that even republicans will see that we have an elite class that runs the show. They support each others efforts, whether in politics, business, selling books, etc. You need to take a close look at people you support.
The best thing for conservatives to do is to gain control of their party apparatus in the state they live. Get involved and keep sending solid conservatives up the pipeline. Never - ever - vote the party endorsed card at caucuses or conventions. Ask around and get connected to the malcontents (as long as they are conservative). Screw the 'moderates' that seek to build coalitions (i.e., dilute conservative goals and messages). Once the control of the party is in place, the national level will begin to feel the heat.
