Reply #35: You Advocated Turning Out Almost Every Democrat in DC [View All]

That would include people like Conyers, Barbara Lee, Barbara Boxer....

Many would be replaced by Republicans. This would be a Bad Thing.

It would very like be the end of the Democratic party, since we would have so few seats left in Congress.
They would be able to push through "HAVA-2" (Help America Vote Republican Even More) to make that situation permanent and extend their control to state and local governments.
They would pack the Suypreme Court with Fundie Bushbots who would decide every election dispute in favor of the Republicans.

I would suggest targeting one or two select senior turncoat Dems who are in safe Democratic states and think they are set for life.
Take them out in the primaries. We must have a strong enough candidate so that he or she also wins the general election for the Democrats.
We must not be spoilers who merely enable the Republicans as Nader did.
