Liberal pundits and politicians like to refer to them as “hostage takers,” “anarchists,” “political terrorists,” “lemmings with suicide vests” and so on. Grassroots conservatives think they’re a bunch of weak-kneed RINO defeatists.

There is no cohesive strategy to speak of, no Tom DeLay whipping the troops into line, no ideological cohesion, no chance of winning very much.
