Make the Republican who wins earn conservative trust instead of letting him presume he has their vote.

Uh no. We’ve played that rigged game too long already.

The GOP is totally a waste of my time. I vote the candidate, not the party. If Sarah Palin runs and says she is a Republican, I'll vote for her. If she runs and says she is something else, I'll vote for her.

Other candidates? If they are true Conservatives in about 3 or 4 specific areas, I'll vote for them. If they fall short, they can do their best without me.

I owe the party nothing. The party owes me decent candidates.

I’m not really getting how this would/will/is work/ing.

The Tea Party got Rubio in, now he is stabbing us in the back.

I too thought for a long time that the way to do this is to “take over” the GOP. But here Erickson describes the party as a dead man walking, what good does taking over a dead body do you?

Maybe we CAN’T over come the moneyed interests, etc. that seem to exert a great deal of control over the GOP.

Maybe we DO need a third party, or 4th or 5th if you count other smaller parties that are out there.

All I can say for sure if that if the Rs push this amnesty thing past the goal line, and not only do such a bad policy move, but also hand Obama some Rose Garden victory (when really all he should be thinking about is Benghazi, the IRS, Fast & Furious, NSA); I will NEVER vote republican again.

I’ve called them and I’ve told them this, and if they think they are going to get 3 or 2 or even 1 Hispanic vote in exchange for mine, well then they really are the S.T.U.P.I.D. party.

In Congress you have two choices.....Nancy Pelosi in charge or “other.” Harry Reid in charge or “other.” Other may suck, but pick your poison. We have elections in this country besides President you know.....

...but the Tea Party in the House will stop the Rubio madness...and besides, Charlie Crist would have been even worse....you just wouldn’t have been so disappointed.

You bought that "The place to challenge the RINOs is in the primaries. Get your guy on the ticket, and we'll support him, but you need to vote for whatever R is on the ticket." didn't you?

The Miller/Murkowski debacle should have been a wake-up call for all but the brain-dead.

I’ve sent money to The Senate Conservatives Fund, and candidates that it and Jim DeMint supported. One of them was Rubio. Look how that worked out for me.

Jim DeMint quit.

I wonder if Marco would have been so eager to embrace the RINO faction if DeMint still walked the halls of Congress?

I agree..... It’s time for a new party..... There are too many republican RINOs. When running as candidates, they talk like conservatives but they govern like liberals. They are not sincere and lack core principles. As time goes on, it gets worse and worse. The republican power structure is populated by big spending stooges who take conservative votes for granted. This has gone on for far too long. I am tired of being a fool. No one will take us seriously until we do something drastic.... We should establish a new party of constitutional conservatives. We need courageous leadership. Time to make history....

Best reason for a new party - currently no way to challenge voter fraud

GOP legally barred from fighting vote fraud
