We need to form a Conservative Party of America. I would join immediately if they nominated conservatives and held to a conservative platform. If we are going to go down in flames, I might as well have a party I actually believe in with conservative candidates I can vote for.

I will never vote for a RINO again. If the GOP runs a conservative, great. If they run a RINO, I won’t vote at all. My last “hold your nose” vote was for Romney. I’m done.

I want a Conservative Party USA.

What election is a Conservative Party going to win when the majority of people, at least in a national presidential election, consistently vote for a very left-wing agenda from the Democrats?

This would just represent a further fracturing and splintering of the right, which seems to be the major problem in all the recent presidential elections. A certain amount of Republicans or conservatives hated each of our last 3 candidates. Unifying Republicans is the ONLY way to victory in presidential elections. That’s what we have 2 weeks left to do this year and that should be our goal in the future.

The idea that any one faction of Republicans has to get 100% of what they want or they take their toys and go home is the immaturity that’s killing our chances to win the presidency. Something has to change so that no matter how much we fight in the primary for everything we want, we unite in the general election. Democrats want each and every one of us to not vote Republican. Yet many on the right are giving the enemy exactly what they want.

We have many other ways of fighting for the issues we want AFTER the election. But our chances are far better of getting any Republican president to go along with us than an Obama or a Clinton. When you actually vote for someone, you have leverage. They know they owe you and they know they need your vote again in the next election.
