You gotta love a Freeper who lives his tagline. You're settling for a mediocre party that stands for nothing except that which our enemies allow.
No one expects a third party to win elections out of the box. But today's Republican Party can't either. The idea is to confront the Republican Party with the loss of influence and power that will surely follow -- necessarily -- by the revolt of its base.
We want their attention. That's how you gain control -- not by working from within a party structure that is built for conservatives to fail.
Amen, Col.
I never voted for either party for a while, but I think Obama and people like him are an exception. See my problem with your line of thought is that conservatives are easily divided and conquered by the most simple of differences. It’s not the parties fault that we’re not proactive and putting in OUR leaders into the republican party. We got Mitt...because we lack the will. I don’t play the victimization role of the left. WE.....ARE THE ones to blame!
But again, I would rather have Mitt than Obama and I wouldn’t want a third party to interrupt conservatives from really influencing the republican party.
On a sideline note, how much of the conservative base was talking about the housing bubble and medical/medicare/medicaid cost here or anywhere for that matter (before it happened)? I was talking about medical arena for sometime and predicted that eventually we’d have to make a chose. But most of the conservative here got fixated on far less important topics in the long-run and I truly think our lack of will is what is to blame. If most of us paid attention and actually acted more than talked, then we wouldn’t be in this mess...and I’m willing to take some of that blame. Are the rest of the freepers that willing? Are you?
