After all, it’s supporting Charlie Crist in Florida, right? One problem with that, the Republicans in Florida want Marco Rubio on the ballot instead.

It’s not the conservatives who are getting the GOP bitch-slapped in elections lately, despite what you may have heard from such bastions of Republican cheerleading as the New York Times or the Washington Post. The problem is a party apparatus that is woefully out of touch with all things bearing a resemblance to reality. These people still send letters in the mail, for God’s sake.

If people on the right want to avoid a Democratic Soviet Super Majority, we’ll begin to work on our own to get people elected. I’ve been harping on this point on my radio show and in every interview I do. Business as usual is proceeding apace at the RNC and business sucks. If we leave elections up to that brain trust we’ll be a rumor, not a political movement.

Forget any third party fantasies you have tucked away in your Ross Perot lunch boxes. They’re vanity projects in modern American politics. Perot’s folly worked while he was pumping cash into it. As soon as he stopped it began to fall apart.

Conservatives need to make whatever inroads we can into the RNC while still working on local and state campaigns. The RNC, for all its flaws, is still a money raising machine. It just spends the money horribly (see: Charlie Crist).

I know that many feel that all we have to do is wait for the Lightbringer vision to implode and Americans will turn away from the Democrats in droves in 2010 or 2012 and head over to the GOP side of the ballot.

Not. Gonna. Happen.

Even after Americans realize what’s going on with all things Obama they’re not going to be attracted to the GOP in its current state. We need new candidates and new people working diligently to get those candidates elected.

It’s not a quick fix but it is a sustainable plan for the future.

It’s Friday, go drink already.
