Republicans: Please remember when the “Tea Party” gave us Dem majorities and ObamaCare with candidates like Christine O’Donnell, Todd Akin and Richard Mourdock.
Here are my Tips for Republican Voters:
1) No elected Republican will do everything you want. Don’t run off and instigate an ugly, rancorous, and expensive primary against an incumbent Republican in order to modestly improve the candidate, and very possibly lose the seat.
2) The only exception to Tip No. 1 is that you must destroy any elected Republican who pretends to be a Republican, but then tries to lose every single issue, across the board, by giving the Democrats 30 million new voters with amnesty.
3) Learn to rely on facts and don’t get swept up in group-think slogans about “establishment Republicans.” Otherwise, boy, will your face be red when you realize you were the one fighting for the establishment Republicans! (Newt Gingrich, Rick Perry, Rick Santorum and Paul Ryan--all of whom support amnesty).
BONUS! Tips for Democrats:
1) Be sure your primaries include lots of candidates who will never be the nominee. You don’t want your base getting too focused on the actual purpose of the exercise.
2) Hold 312 primary debates. We Republicans find that lots of debates encourage attention-seekers and nuts to throw their hat in the ring.
3) Extend your primaries through July, or at least June, especially when running against an incumbent president. It really keeps the nominee on his toes to have only three months to campaign against a candidate who’s been campaigning for four years.
