I don’t have a PROBLEM. The republicans are a hell of a lot more conservative than the liberals that are running this country. You want another party? Well I wouldn’t mind it either but it will take decades before a viable, credible conservative party could win, it will be an uphill battle into the wind. We will be fighting media, new immigrants, the takers, and social issues. There isn’t any time left so we better get behind what we have.
The solution is simple: How about we take back OUR party ? We the Conservatives outnumber the RINO quislings by a healthy margin. Let’s throw our weight around for a change.
What we have got another four years of this mess. The republicans are in bed with the rats. What better do we have to do?
Over the past thirty years [leftists] have taken control of one of the two largest political parties in a country where winner takes all in elections and are busily working to fracture the only opposition they have by encouraging conservatives to leave the Republican Party in the hands of RINOS rather than working to take over the party apparatus as they, the Leftists, have taken over the Democrat Party.
For those who say, "Well, I'm a proud member of the Constitution Party or the Declaration Party or the Conservative Party or the Southern Principled Conservative Party of Holy Ghost Fire on the Mountain Pre-Rapture Remnant of the Real Thing Party and someday we'll be big enough to replace the Republican Party, just like the Temperance Party or the Bull Moose Party did":
Doofuses: we don't live in a parliamentary system where representation is divided proportionally between the losers!
It's winner take all, baby, and the sooner you realize that and stop wasting time fighting like cats and Baptists to multiply the number of me-so-conservative parties the sooner you'll have turned back the liberal encroachment on the existing main opposition party to their main vehicle for political power, the Democrat Party, instead of complimenting yourself on just how wonderfully more conservative your loser party is going to be than the one you deliberately abandoned to leftist takeover."Hey, I don't like these liberal bumper stickers on this fully functioning vehicle or the places its driver is taking us, right? So, I've got, like, this great plan to deal with that, 'kay? Instead of tossing the driver out on his butt and getting some more appropriate body detailing and then driving it wherever we want to go, we're going to get out at the next corner, wag our fingers really hard at the driver as he speeds off, and then from scratch build our own new most perfectly conservative vehicle and, someday, maybe, enter that into the race! And won't that glorious day be, oh, so grand?"And you think Jesus is going to say, "Well done, good and faithful servant for refusing to take back the existing opposition party and, instead, throwing your vote to something that couldn't possibly defeat a known enemy because you thought being considered a more nearly "true" conservative party than any other was more important than actually conserving and preserving the Republic against an ongoing enemy onslaught"?
Dream on.
You're kidding, right? The Republican elite are now way left of center. There is nothing left to get behind; they have gone to far. Mitt and and the GOPe wasted a perfect storm this election regarding Obambi's terrible economic policies. You actually think there is something left of the GOP that could turn us back to Constitutional principles?
IF you are conservative, you should be wondering why Boehner and Co. aren't articulating the need for fiscal conservatism. They whine and cry about it, but never make the point - never! There should be NO negotiation...we're long past that point to maintain America's fiscal strength.
Sheesh, my own grandson could tell the Fedgov why he won't spend more than he has in his checking account nor borrow more from family than he can pay back. The last Republican I ever heard that could articulate such a simple concept was Ronald Reagan.
Let me say that again: My Grandson knows better than to write checks he can't cover. He knows better than to borrow money he can't pay back!
The GOP has turned into liberalism lite (remember JFK democrats who would be now right of GOP?), and they're willing to deal with the Democrats just to stay in power. Personally, I couldn't care less if every Republican lost their office if attempting to restore conservative principles. At least I would know that they tried and we could get on with the fall. But no, so few even attempt.
Sorry to blast you, but I'm done with the Republican party. I'm re-registering as an Independent. I'm done with GOP elites: they left me, I didn't leave them.
