At least in the primaries next time. We need to cross over register and destroy the right wing crazies from the inside. Help moderate Republican candidates win their primaries. Deny the nutjobs access to the general election where the next wave of hate amendments (and you know they will come) propel the sheeple to vote for them. And we have to recognize that it is in our ideological interest to foster coalitions with the moderate Republicans.
I 'm in NY so I don't have to worry about this so much. But I would urge Democrats elsewhere to consider nipping the likes of Coburn and DeMint in the bud during the primaries.
We have to recognize that we have the short end of an ideological stick. The party labels limit our mobility in this battle. In Congress we have to work hard on producing coalitions with the moderate Republicans. We have to co-opt the Republican lexicon. For starters I would suggest always labelling the Red states as welfare queens and non-stop point out the flow of wealth from blue to red America with every spending bill.
It may be time for a little role playing in order to retain our liberties and bring back fiscal sanity.
