Ernie, Ernie, Ernie,

You really don't want them isolated. Making a lot of gun nut survivalists think that they have nothing to lose? Not a good plan. Particularly when they are not being left alone by the nanny state. Getting them royally PISSED is never a good plan.


I'm actually having a hard time believing that you would be this complacent if it were Apple instead of Chrysler and GM. If you call this "moderate government" then I am just completely flabbergasted. And I will break with the social conservatives before I break with the libertarians. I will not vote for Huckabee, for the same basic reasons that I would not vote for Robertson years ago. They would just take the nanny state in another direction.

Aside from being demonized to death by the Democrats and the Media (but I repeat myself), what do you do with the Evangelicals? Let them go third party? Nothing seems to be a real good option here. If the almost 1/2 of the Republican party leaves, we can see Democratic control for years on end. In which case, I think that we can pretty much kiss the country goodbye, if not already. 

The real question is whether Huckabee evangelicals might somehow gain control of the Republican party in a post-Obama world.  That is, the small government/fiscal conservatives may end up isolated, but moderate-government social conservatives might find a way to adapt.

Of course, this means the Libertarians would be left out in the cold, but since they all just want to be left alone that may not be a bad thing. :-P
