Look for common ground, not divisive ground. Rather than dismiss the person making the threat, it's better, IMO, to assess the substance of their complaint.

The common ground is that we all have the same compliant. 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.

I meant "common ground" with respect to substantive issues. I don't really care about the label (neo, paleo, etc.). I'm pretty sure Bill Kristol and Bill Bennet vote GOP, yet they are quite different people.

There is a good deal of bashing on this forum ('tis the nature of internet, I think) that lacks substance and value.

I tend to vote GOP (even for the likes of Collins and Snowe), but I also tend to be harshly critical. It is reasonable for me to expect cogent explanations from elected officials.

Well said. ... Our common complaint is that we are not delivering on our political objectives.

If you are going to take Vienna, TAKE VIENNA!

The common and only real solution is to force te Democrats to pay a political price for their actions... In a country where 77% of Americans polled think the ten commandments can stay in courthouses, the Democrats are insisting that Judges who might agree with 77% are 'too extreme' to be considered... The Dmes must be called to account for their abominable behavior towards good Judges.
