Tea Party activists are making a serious mistake to think that the Republican Party can be taken over simply by electing "conservative legislators" to go to Washington. The Neocon intellectual-financial power elites are way too much in control for that to take place. There is another route, however, to pursue, which will bring victory for the conservative cause in 2016. But it will require as Steve Jobs always said to, "THINK DIFFERENT!"

This must’ve been how Ted Cruz and Rand Paul felt:

Consequently the GOP is now a carbon copy of the Democrat Party.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hey! I resent that. At least the Democrat Party is effective in their goals. The Stupid Party - on the other hand....

I agree with this article. The party left me long ago.

On a slightly different note, Drudge has the James O’Keefe expose of Obamacare Navigators linked, and it looks like it’s brought the National Review website down temporarily. But when it’s back, watch the video here:

http://www.nationalreview.com/article/363699/truth-about-navigators-john-fund

There are TWO stories here. Obviously the big one is the fraud and corruption in the Obamacare program.

But pay attention to the other story, which comes out strongly in the “Texas” segment, which shows exactly how organized groups are aiming to “Make Texas a Blue State”.

The point is this: This is first-hand testimony for how hard the Other Side is willing to work, how organized they are, and how much money they are putting into their efforts.

What are WE doing?

Where’s the Tea Party, in comparison? Who is pumping similar organizational and financial resources into a Conservative Movement?

The answer is: No One. And that has to change if we expect to do what the title of this thread suggests. And time’s a wastin’...

Say what you will about George Soros and his influence, but he’s put his money where his mouth is. Where is the Conservative equivalent to MoveOn, Media Matters, Battleground Texas, and all the rest?

In this case, the Liberals/Democrats are going to war, and Conservatives are the ones hiding in the bushes.

“In other words it is impossible to change the structure of an institution without changing the source of its power”

This is absolutely true. It’s a law of nature. It’s immutable.

Great news. If the AFR is indeed “the ticket” then how many AFR congressmen do we have right now in DC? If the republican party is a lost cause and can’t be fixed they why don’t the AFR congressmen stop what is going on in DC?

With every attack by the establishment on the Tea Party I am getting more in line with this approach.

The question is whether we would have more influence on policy out side the party or inside. Right now I am not sure, but if they nominate a Cristy type again I am gone.

If we break it will be quickly evident to the establishment Repubs that they will be completely incapable of passing anything without our support, thus they will have no choice but to work with us.

But I am afraid and its a real possibility that the establishment Repubs are more in line with the Dems than with us.

Any one want to hazard a guess how fast McCain would switch parties if the Senate was evenly split in the 2014 election?

Yes, but it requires that conservatives GET OFF OF THEIR BUTTS, and work hard in the Primaries!!!

The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew and act anew. We must disenthrall ourselves and then we will save our country - Abraham Lincoln

It is high time to stop trying the same failed strategy over and over.

Tea Party, not conservatives. A wise man, Dr. William Pierce (who also wrote some not wise stuff) compared conservatives to people living in a castle. While they are inside the castle, the enemy is constantly chipping away at the walls. We need to react and not hunker down.

RE :”How then do we defeat this neocon corruption? Only by leaving the GOP and forming an alternative independent party with an independent candidate (as Ross Perot did in 1992). “

Ross Perot 1992?
Didnt that end up with two Clinton terms?

Can hetero’s take over gay-loving church denominations?
Can the orthodox take over the RCC?
Can real men take over the military?
Can...

YES WE CAN.

The way to do it is to seize control of local municipal and County committee seats, County charimanships and state committee seats and then work from there UPWARDS with municipal councils, mayors, etc.

Nelson, I’ve read your material at Le Metropole Café, but I had no idea you were a FReeper. Good to have you on board.

Taking over the Party will require taking out the current “leadership”, either in the Primary, OR in the General.

Absolutely correct. The proper approach to taking over the party is to capture the controls of the party machine at the precinct, district, country, and state levels. The candidate is least of the concerns; of course good candidates are important, but they don't equal control. Control comes from infrastructure.

A new party is a self-defeating exercise, with many examples. It is a lot simpler to capture the existing infrastructure and turn it than to create it from the ground up and do battle with both the DNC and RNC, who have heavily stacked the rules in their favor.
