51. Ultimately, *ONE OF THESE YEARS*, we have to let the Party lose.
As long as we keep enabling them by willingly voting for ever-more-
Rightward candidates, the folks in the Party who are actually closet
Right Wingers will deliberately keep delivering ever-more-Rightward
candidates.

Because candidates much farther to the right than the Party's
mainstream is what they want, and we're merely acting as willing fools.

So one of these years, we will all have to agree that "this year is it"
and we'll all withhold our votes from the Democrats.

2010? Maybe. 2012? Maybe. But eventually, it *HAS* to happen or
soon, we'll be being told to hold our noses and vote for a Rand Paul
equivalent.
