No matter what the outcome will be after the GOP Convention is the "GOP" as we have known it...

..toast? And if so what(if any) organization(s) will replace it?

[US Navy Vet]

Thoughts?

[Timber Rattler]

Yeah, if Romney is the nominee, then it’s finished, just like the old Whigs in the 1850s.

[Biggirl]

A new conservative party?

[TheWriterTX]

The TEA Party needs to officially splinter off and form it's own 3rd party. Right now, those fools think they have effectively co-opted us.

Want to bet the Republicans will come running, just like they ran to curry favor after the natives (us) really started getting restless?

Honestly, though, whoever wins will be the President of a financial graveyard. We are too far gone financially; the only way to fix it is to cut the size of the FedGov in half. Neither side has the political will to do this, so the crash (which is coming, no doubt about it) will be much worse.

[C. Edmund Wright]

Won’t matter. It will be staff by “people” and the type of people will be folks interested in being close to the center of power and influence - thus it will be the same kind of people who staff the current party.

Thus, it is not a “party” problem because human nature is what it is.

[swampfox101]

Maybe the tea party can organize...!

[Antoninus]

If Romney is the nominee, I’m going rogue. I don’t vote for liberals.

[WayneS]

The GOP is not going to BE toast, it already IS toast, and it has been for some time.

It's been more than 20 years since "the GOP as we have known it" has actualy been "the GOP as we have known it"...

IF Romney if nominated, on the next day we should start to organise and legalize the Tea Party as a real true political party to be ready in all 57 states and hit the ground running in ‘16. The GOP is just not our party; face it, we are not welcome there.

So, you’ll be electing OBAMA, then?? EXACTLY LIKE HE WANTS YOU TO?

The “Alternative” is going to be the OBAMA-FUNDED “AmericansUnited” 3rd party run by Alan Simpson.

Podesta ADMITTED this just last night, to DIVIDE YOUR VOTE, and make sure Obama wins.

Are you REALLY THAT STUPID? (Democrats think you are!)

[SENTINEL]

I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

[CSI007]

It already is.

There will be a massive move by conservatives to split from the GOP.

I hear talk about it frequently from local conservative groups.

I am sure others are hearing similar things across the country.

The problem is, it may be too late to save our country. Things are and will be so bad that this slippery slope may be too slippery to stop the momentum that is the progressive/socialist/communist movement.

And we all have the GOP to thank for that.

[SENTINEL]

Above all else, RINOs must be punished ! We are in a war for the survival of our country and Mitt Romney is the Benedict Arnold of 2012 ! This must be dealt with BEFORE we can win against our enemies the democrats.

I intend to write in George Washington for president and vote conservative on all other ballot measures.

"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton

Stop pushing this moderate crap...NO MORE LIBERALS from democrats or REPUBLICANS. NEVER AGAIN!

ronPaul has replaced the grassroots populist right.

Even if NEWT-RS-Perry supporters got behind 1 candidate, they cannot beat the DC GOP without the grassroots.

Here;s the places to start a conservative movement. ronPaulistas will be there.

[Morpheus2009]

SO seriously, someone wants to quit when there are still congressional possibilities? I say this idea is pathetic, damn the torpedoes, full congressional voting ahead. It’s still worth keeping a knot on the Tea Party and pushing for more Congressional Seats, because with more COngressional Seats, it doesn’t matter who gets elected president, we can box them in, as a matter of fact, it sounds like John Nast’s original Elephant Cartoon.

Obama....Romney....what's the difference?

That moron "logic" doesn't work on me, pal.

My vote is sacred to me and I will NEVER again waste it on a liberal phony like Mitt Romney. I don't give a damn about party. If the GOP nominates a liberal, they can go straight to hell.

And here's something that will really boil your blood--If Romney's the nominee, I will continue to trash him all the way to the general election. I will encourage everyone I can to support and vote for the most viable conservative third party candidate I can find.
