That’s all fine and well. Riddle me this. How do you go about keeping the same thing from happening to this new party?
If you can keep a new party from getting polluted, why not perform that action on the old party?
Fact is you can’t. Some jackass like Rove works his way into the Freedom National Committee, and allows another jackass like Rubio to proclaim and run under the Freedom umbrella, and voila, right back where we left off - at which point we’ll have to form another party, et al etc. and so on.
Well then we’ll just maintain control of the party and not let elites set up shop. Who makes that decision? Who would you trust other than yourself to consistently say Yes or No to a new member? How would you know that someone with no track record wasn’t another jackass like McCain?
Not expecting answers to the questions, but I’d be happy to move over if there were in fact answers.
I'll offer one...
Imagine a new party, "freedom" if you will, organized from the ground up according to founding-like principles. Lets put our heads together and imagine our framers, as much as they were averse to factions and parties, had to come up with the organization and competing forces to make a viable party. They did so for the Constitution... and made it simple (and limited!)... same for the "Freedom" or whatever party. Should be organized simply, would emphasize individual liberty, and thus the individual within the party. It would work-in the foibles of men into its own constitution (small c) in such a way that it would promote its purity...
