4. yup. the ONLY thing that will break the banana republican stranglehold...
is for "moderate" republicans -- the genuine conservatives, that is -- to realize that the banana republican leadership has BETRAYED them, lied to them, sold them a bill of goods.

the current and future banana republican agenda has NOTHING to do with conservativism. today, democratic policies are FAR more genuinely conservative than those of the banana republicans.

preserving democracy, preserving the balance of power, preserving a genuinely free AND FAIR marketplace for genuine competition, managing our natural resources for the best use of all, reducing our dependence on foreign goods (most notably oil), promoting education, keeping our workforce employed, keeping our deficit in check, and so on ... ALL THESE ARE CONSERVATIVE POSITIONS and they are ALL DEMOCRATIC POSITIONS.

the banana republican policies far more closely resemble those of peoples we have gone to war against and supposedly defeated -- mother england, the confederacy, fascist italy.

this is not your father's republican party.
