If conservatives had become involved in a mass, organized effort after the 2008 presidential debacle and actually tried to take over the party apparatus, we could have had control over the convention. Instead, too many just went to Tea Party rallies or contributed money to a politician or sat around complaining about the state of the party and country. That’s not cutting it. We need to get involved, kick out the RINOs, and change the party rules to favor conservatives.
I know this goes against the way we conservatives like to think of ourselves, as not needing a leader....but the fact is, it will take a charismatic leader for people to rally around, if we are going to make any serious headway. And the fact is, there are no such people in the GOP these days....it’s not just about being right on the issues, it is having the political savvy and the charisma, to attract people, and even convert those who don’t necessarily agree with everything.....That’s what Reagan did.

Ah, you dreamer you! Go for it.
I’ve come to see that EVERY PROBLEM in Washington, DC is there because BOTH parties want it that way.
Republicans just want to see the move to socialism move more slowly.
Republicans have put us into debt with continual war, expansion of social programs and government, and borrowing like crazy.
Republicans are beholden to special interests, who give generously and expect a return.
Democrats want us to become the Sweden from 1960, which has been renounced by Sweden. Sweden is doing quite well now, after reigning in the size of government.
Democrats have put us into debt through uncontrolled social spending, increasing the size of government and borrowing.
Democrats are beholden to special interests, who give generously and expect a return.
Your army of conservatives won’t take over and change Washington, DC. they will be absorbed into it, just like those brought there by Reagan and the Bushes. It is a big feeding trough. Hogs get hungry.
... Still, it is nice to dream
