I generally don't take the threat (to not vote GOP) as any more than the expression of anger. That is, many people threaten, but I know at least one (me) who pulls GOP even after expressing frustration over GOP flip-flop (e.g., we're gonna disband the Dept of Edu. No, wait, we're going to expand its powers).
Rather than dismiss the person making the threat, it's better, IMO, to assess the substance of their complaint.
Look for common ground, not divisive ground.
None of us should have any concern about stepped-up liberal efforts, they are more entertaining when they are animated.

It's the lack of solidarity/cohesion (neos, paleos, RINOs, metas, mesos, broken glass, etc.) and lack of resolve and persistence that pulls us apart.
It's just that the courts are becoming Sooooo onerous and millions of us are hoping for some relief through new judge appointments. That Bush hasn't been able to exert his will to get some conservatives on the bench is excruciatingly disappointing. Still, I realize we must continue to build on the progress we have made in 2000 and 2002. It takes a long time to turn the ship around. Once it IS turned around it will be very difficult to stop.
