Rush is a bit slow and likely has become a bit too well connected to the GOPe nowadays.
Ya can't fix the GOP. It's gone and has been gone since the Bush days. It would have been like trying to make the Nazis compassionate...Or enticing Obama to join the NRA....It's just done. A tangled mess of insiders, big money and the well connected. It cannot be salvaged.
Mega dittos on what you said about Rush. I’m, also, bothered about the ongoing silence, by the GOP and by way too many conservative talk show hosts, on the issue of voter fraud and the November 2012 general election, including the long existing legal agreement that prevents both major political parties from discussing voter fraud from ANY election.
Third party? We already have the Constitution Party, which usually fights to reach .5 of 1 percent.
