I'm seriously considering switching to the Republican Party.
I disagree with pretty much everything they say, and I think I we need to go on the offensive and take the fight to their home turf instead of letting them bring the fight to ours. I was reading an editorial over the weekend where someone was praising Bush for leading an administration that actually made decisions and took decisive action on an agenda. Well, if Bush had an election mandate behind him, I would agree, but in fact he had anything but a mandate and to lead with an agenda that conservative in the midst of a deeply and evenly split country is just wrong. He certainly isn't representing us.
Dean seems to be cratering, despite his team's best efforts to prop him up. What would happen if in his campaign's dying breath, he told all of his supporters to go join the Republican party and work from the inside to pull them back to center? Millions of smart, well read, politically active voters suddenly becoming liberal Republicans? That would be a true shock to the system. And it would extend beyond Bush: it would affect the congressional elections and the state elections too.
The more I think about it, the more I love this idea. Let's go storm the castle.
