MM> Hello everybody.   
      
    I have said, the Republican Party no longer exists. It is now   
    the Republican Tea Party. Next election, or the one after, it   
    will be just the Tea Party.   
      
    Contact every legislator or former legislator you know who was   
    beaten in the primary by a Tea Party candidate. Implore him to   
    campaign against the Tea Party candidate.   
      
    I know this will hurt, but it's the only way to keep the   
    Republican Party to suffer the fate I named above, becoming the   
    Tea Party. It's the only way for Republicans to keep the   
    freedom to think for themselves.

    MM> by Dave Nalle and I agree with them.   
      
    MM> For those having trouble following the controversy over   
    MM> rules changes at the RNC, here they are in a nutshell:   
      
    MM> There are basically three proposed changes.   
      
    MM> First, that the delegates will be bound to vote in   
    MM> proportion to the popular vote regardless of how things go   
    MM> in our county and state conventions.   
      
    MM> Second, that the presumed nominee or his agents will be   
    MM> able to remove or replace delegates from state conventions   
    MM> at will.   
      
    MM> Third, that the members of the RNC may at any time between   
    MM> conventions change any of the party rules by a 3/4 vote.   
      
    MM> It appears that most members of the Texas delegation are   
    MM> now opposing these changes.   
      
    MM> I signed on to the GOP to be part of a real political   
    MM> party, not just some pavlovian Punchinello who parades   
    MM> around in a pantomime pageant and claps when they ring a   
    MM> bell.
