at the risk of repeating known information. there is no effective representation for conservatives in D.C. (our representation is at the state level and below where it exists). this has been the case for the greater part of 100 years.
thanks to tea party individuals acting at the grassroots, there is now a small group of senators/representatives present in D.C., able to monitor and perhaps influence what the ruling elite statists in both parties are doing. i estimate that presence at between 5 and 10 senators and 15 to 20 representatives. that’s it.
thus, logic dictates that the answer for conservatism is outside the two party elites, working at the state level and below for non-partisan, conservatives. e.g., sheriffs, judges, local officials, while picking off RINOS and squish R’s when opportunity presents and replacing them with true conservatives.
i believe a third party will eventually emerge, if the country still exists by then, from an ‘none of the above’, other, decline to state, group of conservative (God fearing) ‘independents’, who are geting near a plurality in the electorate, and already acting already as members of a defacto a Conservative Party.
Agreed!
