I’m actually pretty laid back right now. The house is clean, the kids are in bed, and I got a ton of baking done today. I feel quite accomplished, and I’m looking forward to a few more heirlooms ripening tomorrow for a caprese salad. My favorite!

It’s funny how I never mentioned a third party, yet you accuse me of endorsing just such a thing. I will neither agree nor deny that I’m intrigued by a third party, but I will suggest that you take a look at what JimRob has been up to lately. As this is his site, you might want to take some time off from it if you despise the third party idea. Just a FRiendly suggestion.

As for shooting Republicans in the back, well check out my tagline lol! Seriously though, I’ve never done such a thing. I have the big girl panties to tell RINOs exactly what I think of them. I wish it could be to their faces, but I have to settle for my signature and address on my personal correspondence. Those sneaky critters are making it more difficult to get face time. Gosh, it’s almost like they know we’re really pissed at them!

One final comment about shooting Republicans in the back: Christine O’Donnell, Michelle Bachman, Sarah Palin, Herman Cain, and Allen West. What do these good folks have in common? They were either shot in their backs by the GOPe, or savagely attacked from the outside while the GOPe did nothing for thier defense. Hell, the GOPe didn’t even send financial support to Perry to battle the baby killers last month!

You are exactly right.

You have absolutely no clue how the world works, or how things get done in this country.
You PRESUME that all of the folks you just mentioned WANT a “third party” and you are foolish to think that way.
Yes, the GOPe should be aware that the Conservative base is upset with them.
I, myself, once ran for State Rep. only to find that the retiring GOP lady who I wanted to replace was CAMPAIGNING FOR THE DEMOCRAT behind my back.
So, put away YOUR pride, your arrogance, and your silly notions of how the world might work.
The only hope we have is through a CONSERVATIVE dominated Republican Party.
A Third Party will only GIVE EVERYTHING TO THE LIBERALS!

You almost got the nail on the head there!

The thing to understand is that, as Standing Wolf said:

The Democratic [sic] face of the Big Government party does most of the end runs around the Constitution; the Republican face of the Big Government party does nearly all the huffing and puffing.

Or, to put it in even more general terms: anything the Republican Party says it stands for is a lie. (Precisely because they stand for nothing, except perhaps what the Democrats are doing.)
Seriously, consider:

1. government accountability: Fast & Furious, Benghazi, IRS, NSA — how many of these have people in jail (or hanged, as some are flat-out treason), how many will put even one higher-administrative person in jail?
2. fiscal responsibility: why is the debt never addressed? why is spending never appreciably cut?
3. abortion: some may argue that the partial birth abortion ban is proof that the republican party has done something to forward illegalizing abortion. Gosnel, and the other reveals immediately after his trial, though proved that law to be nothing more than a feel-good measure.
4. moral principles: the GOP is willing to, every time, sacrifice principles when the issue of electability comes up.
5. gun rights: have you ever noticed that they take credit for the Assault Weapons Ban terminating? They had to literally do nothing because of the sunset clause! Moreover, when was the last time you heard them even suggest pushing repeal of the National Firearms Act or the Gun Control Act?
6. moral principles 2: Did you watch the shenanigans to get Romney elected? Retroactive rule changes in the primaries. Rule changes at the RNC decided before the vote finished. Etc.
7. lower taxes: when was the last time you heard a republican talk about changing the [income tax] tax-system to a flat-rate, no-exception, no-exemption, no-credit, no-withholding system?

Q: So, what does the Republican Party, at the national level, actually do?
A: Stab us in the back.
