Seriously! Let's all join the Republican Party

[leftofthedial]

Every Democrat in the country, join the Republican Party and become activists.

Change THEM from within. It would be easier and faster than trying to add 10 or 20 IQ points to 51% of the country.

It would also leave the current Dem "leaders" in charge of what they deserve to lead: nothing and noone.

[Flammable Materials]

1. I'd do it ...

... for no other reason than I don't really give a shit at this point. I'm so demoralized, I'd do anything for a good laugh.

Don't listen to me. I've got a whole bottle of 8% Belgian Ale in me.

[leftofthedial]

2. LOL--I'd love to change the world . . .

Step 1. Drink beer.

Step 2. Repeat as necessary.

[mikeysnot]

3. MMMMmmmmmmmm

Belgian ale..... I love that country, I wonder if they need computer geeks there?

[leftofthedial]

4. Nope

But India's looking.

[mikeysnot]

5. I've had some good beer

from India. Maybe I will go see Ravi Shankar again.

[Nimble_Idea]

7. hey , Email me !

Or can I send you an Email?

[Flammable Materials]

10. Who?

Me? Him? Her? Who?

:)

[LVdem]

16. Which Belgian ale??? I love Belgian beer! nt

[knight_of_the_star]

6. How about

HELLS NO!!!

[mikeysnot]

8. Actually

I like his idea. They all parrot the same "honest decent man, filled with strong leadership qualities". No one there is calling em on it.

[mtnsnake]

9. "Change them from within"? HAHAHA! Count me out, but good luck.

13. Go back into your

hole, you freaking unAmerican, Constitution, freedom hating, lying, cheating, stealing, unpatriotic :puke:. Your day WILL come...trust that. Until then, a special place in HELL awaits you and yours.:mad:

[Deja Q]

18. Ugh. My computer screen exploded by that filth.

:puke:

[Flammable Materials]

12. One bottle of La Chouffe down, one bottle of Chimay Triple to go.

They were supposed to be celebratory drinks. But they do the job just fine in defeat.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

14. Then we can all be sure our vote is counted at least (I think).

n/t

[leftofthedial]

15. not only counted, but worth 1.125 votes

every time.

[LuminousX]

17. Straight Up

We do need to infiltrate the Republican ranks on many levels. It is obvious that we are in a political war and the only way to defeat an enemy that has a stronghold is to infiltrate and disrupt from within.

[Piperay]

19. I might for the next Primary

so I can have input in who the candidate will be and pick the lesser of the evils since it seems that the Democrats are never going to get a President again. You can be sure it will always be a repuke so it might as well be a repuke that we have some say who it is.

22. what party? and what do you mean by "easily"?

they've handed all three branches of the government to a fringe right wing cabal--the supreme court will now be a theocratic/fascist institution for the rest of our lifetimes--they proved they can't defeat the worst "president" in US history with a bona fide war hero running . . .

It's been Nixon twice, Reagan twice, the bushturds three times now, with only one-term Carter and Clinton in the mix. They have now staked complete claim to the political agenda of the country.

I think it's time for a change.

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

[leftofthedial]

35. now I know why you had no answer

traitorous fascist POS

[struggle4progress]

21. I don';t agree with the Repubs but I don't think they're stupid enough ...

... to fall for your scheme. And since they control the media, I really wouldn't look forward to the Dem-bashing "news" stories that would result from your plan.

[Pobeka]

23. Well geeze, you don't tell them straight out you're smart.

Or maybe you do, since only someone dumb would do that, and then they'd know you were a true blue beer drinkin' fartin' crotch-scratchin' bomb-some-towelheads GOP-eer.

[leftofthedial]

25. when do we start the NASCAR-appreciation classes?

I'm free on Tuesday nights.

[Pobeka]

28. Sign me up! I can calculate multiple integrals - NASCAR trivia is easy!

Which drivers have the best cars. Which driver had an affair. All that important stuff.

[leftofthedial]

36. cool, you're the leader of the NASCAR wing

of the new party-within-a-party

[leftofthedial]

24. the repuke party is a coalition of several smaller constituencies

the gun nuts

the religious wack jobs

the anti-tax psuedo-libertarians

the truly wealthy

With a new coalition numbering 48% of the voting population, we would overwhelm any one of the other groups and become the largest bloc within the party

guaranteed that the "deal-with-the-devil" coalition binding these other blocs would crack.

This would be a MUCH simpler task than re-educating the entire "red" nation from scratch.

[Pobeka]

30. Seriously though, this is an idea worth considering.

Infiltrate was a thought that crossed my mind today on the way home.

[leftofthedial]

33. the true neocons who are calling the shots and benefitting

from this coalition number only about 2% of the repuke base

they have hoodwinked or bribed almost all their support by pandering to single-issue zealots on a few select wedge issues.

[bling bling]

26. Oh my god, I just posted something similar on another thread.

I think it's a good idea and could work if organized.

[leftofthedial]

31. you talked about infiltrating the fundy movement

that too!

[booley]

27. we'll end up like the Moderate repubs

after the republican revolution all the moderates that dominated the party were forced out until only a few in the most liberal areas remained.

If you can find a way to keep this from happening, please let me know

[leftofthedial]

32. we'd have those moderate exiled repukes

and possibly the true conservatives on our side

Save america from the neocons by saving the Repuke Party from itself!

[Carni]

29. This actually isn't a bad idea

In fact I heard a group of African Americans interviewed a couple of years ago that were proposing doing the same thing.

[leftofthedial]

41. the little bushturd got 59 million votes

that is their entire coalition, including the religiously insane, the gun nuts, the racists, the fascist neocons, and the other factions who respond to their fear and hate agenda.

If we could get 30 million VOTING Democrats to join the repuke party, we would be the largest and by far the most intelligent single bloc in their coalition and could begin to moderate their platform from within.

[americanwomanone]

34. Yeah, get them from the inside! n/t

[leftofthedial]

37. I'm changing my affiliation tomorrow

and REALLY going Democratic Underground

[Sterling]

38. I thought we were already doing that.

Isn't that what the DLC is for?

[leftofthedial]

39. now that's just too true

DINOsaurs, we hope, after the third consecutive election debacle.

[Search Party]

40. Kick

I love this idea the more I think about it!

This would really throw all polling into the shitter.

It would make it very difficult for their coming campaigns.

REGISTER RIGHT : VOTE LIBERAL

So true: Go Democratic Underground

I'm with you, changing my affiliation, and there's not a damn thing they can do to stop it.
