I work with a lot of professional scientists and engineers (PhDs). These are sort of upper middle class white guys and gals and THEY view the Republican party as the party of rich white guys by which they mean the party of crony capitalists, Bush-type trust fund babies, and lasse-faire banking (helped out by federal reserve subsidies). Pro defense gets translated into pro defense contractor. And, remember how this downturn got started - Bush invaded Iraq and had to pay the economic costs - including the costs of buying off the democrats - to have that war.

Listen to Carl Rove through those eyes and tell me why they are wrong. Listen to Romney. Did he say very much about taking a scythe to government regulation to help out SMALL business?

The Republican party has to shake this image.

I woud say the Dem Party is dead too. It’s becoming a no party system.

This is getting ridiculous. The party, or the people, aren’t the problem. The problem is the completely corrupt media. Did you see what Candy Crowley did to Romney, it was outrageous and they got away with it. Have you seen the countless reports of voter fraud, and notice the silence is deafening? Do you see what Obama has done in Benghazi, and it’s business as usual? If the media is in bed with the enemy, we have no truth. If we have no truth, we will never succeed. We are living in an Orwellian nation/world at the level of China, just with a better standard of living. It has to end. Romney would have simply delayed and enabled this dysfunctional society to maintain the status quo longer. We have to hit bottom, economically and otherwise. It’s money that has the media bending over at will. God is in charge, and as promised, the proverbial manure will hit the hurricane, and peace will reign again. Own it, we lost the battle but we know who wins this war. Be happy, and loving towards the haters, that is the best revenge.

It was, it, and always will be a two party system. Third parties failed in the past, fail now, and always will fail. If Teddy Roosevelt failed as a third party candidate, that route is beyond dead. Gary Johnson and Virgil Goode didn't get the job done either.

That leaves two viable options that both need to be used.

1. Be active in the Republican Party. Long term. That means more than just voting in primaries and generals, but attending the local meetings, becoming precinct delegates that pick party leadership, building relationships, and getting good folks elected. Not just president, but down ticket.

2. PACS. If you want to back conservatives, PAC's a good way to do it. Get involved in primaries and use the PACs to support the right people.

The virtuous conservative and libertarian Americans are the opposition. We have no party that represents us.


I have not seen the public speech and advocacy of virtue tolerated from those claiming to be liberal-tarian. They look at virtue as “Christian conservative” oppression and hate it like the commies do. Cultural Marxism guarentees a population begging for economic Marxism.

America was not designed for a people who are ignorant of and reject Western ethics and morals. Libertarianism is a flawed ideology in it’s social mandate of public atheism and humanist moral relativity.

There is right and there is wrong. Wrong decisions result in consequences of suffering. Liberal-tarians like to think they all live in a bubble and won’t be affected by the those who choose to be or who are taught to live as degenerates by elitists, teachers and parents. That is a lie. Freedom can tolerate some retard degenerates in the allies but not the darkness of a top, down ordered humanist society creates. Humanist society is now voting itself the power to rob and attack their neighbors via their vote. It has no basis of comprehenion for the constitution’s ideals and responsibilities.

The constitution had religious freedom for Christians for a reason. Their speech of virtue was not intended to be banned by the courts and governments from the public schools and public square. It was the main source of virtue (ie, the ten commandments) for the majority of people and served the constitution’s need for mutual respect (for human life), independence and responsibility.

Too late now. Liberals won a generation. Many are in the libertarian party.

You live in Panama? What state is that in? If you want me to take you seriously, then come back to the US. Otherwise, you’re just another outsider.

Once you realize you’re already dead, it’s easier to face what needs to be done.

It's not a GOP thing. You've got an ever increasing population of the Takers of Society, and an ever increasing amount of free stuff given to them by the Dems.
As Rush has said - how the hell can you beat a party that keeps running Santa Claus for office?

The GOP has to recognize that for better or worse, DEM lite candidates in the form of moderates, can’t be force fed to the base. Unfortunately, if Boehner’s comments regarding “There is not Tea Party caucus” is the view of how the party is going to proceed, then it is dead.

3 million voters less than McCain? Seriously? In what was called the most important election in our lifetime? Something went horribly wrong. I would suggest the basic reason is the base of informed voters were tired of being fed a milquetoast diet of moderate pablum and decided to say ‘No thanks’. Give us a real conservative in 2016 and watch what happens. But if Boehner as gatekeeper til then is the best the GOP can offer maybe it’s time go Galt and let the whole d**n thing burn.

The GOP-e with the RNC mismanmaged this campaign from the very beginning. I gave my support for Romney only because I believe Obama will destroy our country in his second term.

No more. Enough... I have contempt for all of the GOP-e and their pundits. Carl Rove has done enough damage to our country already. No more Bushes. I had no idea GW’s wife was such a liberal.

They ignored the real issues and failed miserably by NOT ATTACKING Obama for his Marxist-communist agenda.

Cain said it would take money, leadership and at least 50 coalitions to create a viable third political party.
“You need one for every state because of the whacky rules state by state that they have that make it difficult for a third party to emerge,” he said.

Nothing "whacky" about it. The two parties colluded extensively after Perot to prevent 3rd parties from gaining traction. It is quite deliberate and intentional. There are reasons why a Congress with a 9% approval rating regularly has over 93% of incumbents re-elected.

Moderate Romney failed to take ANY voters from the Left, even in his own state. The GOP must drop this repeatedly failed tactic, and concentrate on getting the base (about 40 million), getting the independents (about 30 million), and getting registered voters who didn't vote (about 40 million). Trying to siphon off 5-10 million Dem votes by running to satisfy the MSM clearly doesn't grab a single vote.

(Going after voter fraud methods a year or two before election time might help drop 5-10 million votes from the other side of the ledger, as well.)
