I do NOT at this time advocate leaving the GOP for a third party.
Me neither. Not until we've had an honest go at ridding the party of the Homo-promo element. It's a heck of a lot easier and will take us less time to use a tool that's already there than to try to build a new one that, in the short run at least, would only elect pro-homo democrats.
In short, more Santorums, less Specters.
Speaking of which, does anyone know where Arlen MacSpecter's opponent falls on the "gay marriage" issue? You can bet Arlen's in favor (even if not publicly) thanks to Scottish law.

How do we rid the GOP of the pro-Homo element?
Reagan himself had tons of them (as it came out in those court cases) so did Bush Sr.
I'm all for this, but it seems like they are too numerous.

It won't hurt if we somehow convince the people inside the beltway to spend some time in the rest of the country from time to time. It also wouldn't hurt to turn over congress more often than it is now. Too many "leaders" are clueless because they don't get out very often.
Part of this is the entrenchment, IMO. And it is up to the voters to change that. Leaving the GOP, at this time, splitting the conservative vote among smaller parties, will hand elections the democrats. That being the case, the target should be the primaries and vote out the ineffective GOP people.

I keep hearing, reading and seeing references to Arlen Sphincter and "the Scottish Law"... I must have missed the joke when it was made. What's that in reference to? Can anyone elucidate? (I love to use that word!)
Thanks in advance.
