I guess minority status suits you. I rather put up with the minority within my party, as long as the majority leads it, and regain control of the govt so real change can be accomplished.
It's easy to sit on the sidelines and have "ideological purity" it's a battle to actually get something done.
Funny, considering the fact that our party endorses or nominates candidates based on principle, not party label, and that in the recent IL-5 congressional special election to fill Rahm Emanuel's vacant seat, the Republican Party didn't lift ONE FINGER to help their own nominee, conservative FReeper Rosanna Pulido, while AIP people worked the phones, worked the precincts, worked to elect a true conservative, tirelessly.
In other words, your post couldn't be further from reality, and it couldn't be more hypocritical.
