Agreed. The GOP is now the Whigs.

We must now set about the difficult work of building a true Conservative opposition party. The Dems will be able to run the table for the next decade or so while we go about that. I just hope there will still be some shred of a country left to save by then.

People posting here talk about the repub party as some separate entity.

It's not, it is us.

Just giving money and planting a few lawn signs won't change it.

Getting on your county and state republican committees and working your way into the system WILL.

It takes time and personal effort.

When I had the time I was on our county committe and will get on it again soon when I retire.

I know I'm going to ruffle a lot of very ignorant feathers with what's next, but here goes:

Many of the founding fathers of our country were Masons.

As a Mason, you learn the skills you need to work effectively in an organization such as a party committee.

One of the main goals of Masonry is to take a rough and unpolished man and square and polish him such that he may be more useful to his fellow man.

If you're not already a Mason, look into it.

Whining like a playground prissy and running home with your toys? You think that's going to get us anywhere? You're just doing the same thing you're complaining the "Republicans" are doing!

YOU and WE ARE the Republicans.

In my opinion, the party may be taken over by the right once enough of us finally make good on our threats to leave... we should play all out hardball until next years midterms and see what that gets us
