It can if it conveys actual information instead of a bunch of pie in the sky. The solution is real simple. Get and stay involved in Republican party politics. Begin at the town/local/precinct level and get as many other like minded people active with you. This is a ground up project, not a top down one. It isn't easy, it takes a lot of actual effort (beyond sitting behind a keyboard), it may require years of hard work to shift ones sphere of influence in the right direction, but it is the only thing that will actually help change things.
All this blather about starting new party's, voting for an existing 3rd party, writing in candidates, raging at the GOP establishment, etc, may feel good but it accomplishes exactly nothing. People do the same thing every 4 years and it will all come to nothing.
Want to make a difference? Get involved. Get involved in Republican party activities/politics at the local level and help push the party in a more conservative direction. You'd be surprised how few people actually get involved. Wonder why the establishment usually gets its way? Simple. Because too many good conservatives sit around bellyaching instead of actually doing something.
Quit with the fantasies of new party's, victorious 3rd party's, overthrowing the GOP at the convention, some White Knight to ride in steal all Romney's delegates, etc. None of this nonsense is going to happen. Get involved, stay involved, go to party meetings, use your influence to push the party to the right, get your friends and family involved, go to town council meetings, vote in all elections including primaries, etc. THAT is how you make an actual difference.
That simply is not true. Each person does what they are capable of doing, and there are far more Freepers actively involved then you apparently are willing to credit... ....your assessment couldn't be more wrong.
We don't come to FR to broadcast about our activities...though if our guys make the news and report from where they are this is great!....we come here to be informed and use the good minds and hearts of Freepers to equip us better to go out and do what and where we have determined is our place in these election cycles. And when the Primary draws to an end we come back to FR to discuss further what is possible in changing the way things tend to go.
What most realize is doing the same thing over and over has not changed the outcome hoped for.....so this discussion needs to be....and rather than disrupt it...how about offering some 'Different' suggestions rather than the same old drumbeat heard every year and time and again...it's not working!
