Voters should give the Emmerites what they want - if they are to be the party of NO, give them a resounding NO at the polls. Only the ballot box can dislodge the extremists who have captured the GOP.

Because the Dems are now nothing but a bunch of entrenched Eisenhower Republicans and until the GOP reinvents itself as open to the middle of the existing narrow right-wing range of political discourse at play today, the Dems can be as egregious as they want and still win. IF the GOP reforms then the Dems will have to, and a move to the left in that camp is way, way, way, way overdue.
