But what makes you think they're wrong (all of them) about the influence of the Conservative Party, and that you're right? And of John Wilson: >And then you even admit that he is running as a >democrat not a conservative. Where did I write that he was not running as a Conservative? He is running as a Conservative, which nomination was a cinch for him to get (he's run for judge before as Conservative nominee), but the significant thing is that he also won the Democratic primary against their organization candidate! >The average republican MAY be for many things I am for, but the >average republican candidate is most CERTAINLY not. Again you seem to imagine a disconnect between candidates and voters. Where do you think candidates come from, Mars? They come from the rank & file. You see this in the Libertarian Party. I see it in the Conservative Party. What makes you think it's any different in the Republican Party? >> >Yet you seem to be saying to me that we should try to work within the >> >parties.

The ones with the most talented, best motivated, and greatest numbers of, volunteers and contributors, provided their tactical thinking is not too screwy and their resources are not spread too thinly. Want to read how? Just some small books that come to mind: Robert Heinlein's "How To Take Back Your Government", Saul Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals", H.L. Richardson's "Slightly To The Right" and a recent sequel whose name I forgot. Across the political landscape, none of them suggest you form your own political party, and most recommend against it. After writing that first book, Richardson took his own advice, got involved in the GOP, got elected to the Calif. assembly, then Congress, and recently retired before writing that sequel.
