The GOP-E and moderate/RINO’s have had their way the last two elections and look what happened.

It s time for the onservatives to take over e GOP and kick the establishment out. The second alternative is to leave the GOP and start a new party. GOP will not last if that happens.

We have been improperly defined by others (MSM) and those definitions have stuck. The GOP-e continues to promote moderates and RINOs who try to “talk” conservatism - but they are not authentic, and their “words” do not ring like a Goldwater, Reagan, or even a Gingrich. You can't (or shouldn't) fake conservatism. It's not becoming. It comes across as though they are reading a foreign language and have no idea what they are saying - nor believe it themselves.

I agree, we need an actual fiscal conservative, not another big government wonk in disguise like we’ve had as a candidate in the last few elections. I mean, what better election platform could you have than “less taxes”, we just need to be fair about where the cuts are and get the message out. Nothing should be a sacred cow and that includes the military, we could wipe the floor with any of our enemies without barely lifting a finger. All countries that could possibility be a military threat to us, e.g. China, are too economically dependent on us (and vice versa) to risk war.

The GOP leadership and the MSM kinda work together to determine who the Republican candidate is. This is probably why the Libertarians and Ron Paul people actively work to undermine the GOP candidate in the general election. The Tea Party, however, holds their noses and votes for the GOP candidate knowing the alternative is much worse. Libertarians and Ron Paul voters could care less. All this makes it easier for the MSM to discourage Republicans from voting and push independents to the Progressives. I lump Fox news in with the GOP efforts to pick the RINO candidates.

Why not run a Conservative for once?

Well that's just crazy talk. /s

[freeangel]

Ditto—what you said.

Mitt won the primary gauntlet so a third party is the only way we need to organize and file in every state

[trebb]

I’ve seen it expressed, and I even agree that Ronald Reagan would not have done any better than Romney this time out. The Nation has degenerated to the point where real values have no value with the electorate.

Conservatives did not even show up for the Republican primaries. They are unable to raise enough free $peech.
