I completely get where you're coming from with this and, on principle, I agree. But I can't get past two things...
1) Will this GOP-clean-house make us safer? Will having a dem controlled Congress (by an even larger margin than we have now) AND a dem in the WH provide us the national security we need. If your answer is no then ask this... With the current condition of our economy can we handle another 911-like attack? With the belief that Obama will do nothing for national security can we expect to see IEDs in American cities? Will we be safer under Obama vs. McCain? If not do you trust that one of your own won be their target? You're willing to risk our national security for cleaning house and rebuilding the conservative base?
2) I mentioned this to you before... Once the dems get control of Congress and the WH nothing with stop them from instituting universal healthcare and a plethora of other social programs that, once started, you can't stop. Couple this with the possibility of point 1… I can’t imagine the damage that would be done; all for the sake of cleaning up the conservative base. I’m not sure it’s worth it.
