A Blood Purge

The Republican Party needs to define itself. The GOP may be liberals and moderates like Olympia Snowe  (who again sided with Democrats today- this time to give us Obama's "hell" care) dooming it to electoral oblivion, where voters so-inclined can cast their lot with these watered-down socialists and shadow radicals or vote for the full-on socialists and radicals of the Democrat Party. This weak-kneed brand of GOP politicians thwarted Reagan in his attempt to institutionalize conservatism and have made common cause with Democrats ever since, claiming to never let the perfect be the enemy of the good while destroying both their own party and our nation.  The Maine delegation in the US Senate, Lindsay Graham of South Carolina, my own Senator Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, and our presidential candidate of late,  Arizona's John McCain, all embody this compromiser wing which will end the party and  are helping Obama corrupt the nation. Republicans following this map to self-destruction will spawn a conservative third party if they win the day and hold the party, or conservatives in the party in the mold of Reagan need to emerge, revolt against the traitors in their midst, and reclaim the party for the small businessmen, the self-employed, the professionals, the middle class aspiring to go higher and banish these usurpers from their ranks. This cleansing could yet come and save the country.
