Change your status to Independent Conservative!!
I am and NEVER was a registered Pubbie’ and proud of it.
What i say to liberals is...I;m not a republican but I would rather kill myself than vote Democrat.
Myopic. More than 600 republicans were elected to state legislatures in 2010, and you want to abandon them? Leave me out. I’ll be supporting conservative republicans in my state. There’s more to the political world than just Washington.
Taking over the party will NEVER happen. The Ruling Class has already made sure of that and set up everything to ensure Conservatives like Cruz or Palin NEVER gain any kind of traction that will threaten their power.
Because the Ruling Class of the GOP-e will enlist the aid of Democrats and MarxoFascists to help destroy anyone running against them.
I’m watching that happen right now with Mitch McConnell’s campaign working with Democrats to trash Matt Bevin.
All this said - we’ve seen our last free and honest national elections. Cook County went national in 2009 and we saw it’s work in 2012.
Elections are NOT going to slow, stall, reverse or fix what has been done to us.
We have already lost the culture and the rule of law because tyranny is being imposed under the COLOR of law.
How many ‘executive orders’ and ‘actions’ is Obama up to now because Congress is not acting as he sees fit anyway???
Wake up folks. Understand what time it is.
Stop practicing insanity.
LOL. Deb, you still got that acerbic wit after all these years.
RNC will NEVER let Ted head their party ticket. Need third party desperately and NOW IS THE TIME!
I know we’ve disagreed, but love that you’re hangin’ in E3. Hope you’re well.
************************
So we are forever stuck in a corrupt two-party (well, one-and-a-half) system forever? When we, the abused and ignored conservatives, are the REAL POWER behind the GOP?
No, I don't buy it. A third party would struggle at first, maybe one or two elections, then the conservatives would coalesce and find their strength. Personally, I think enough conservatives would jump to the new ship to make it float from git-go.
I think we should form a third "conservative" party NOW, in time for the 2014 mid-terms. What power we drain from the GOP would be all to the good, since our Congresscritters would vote conservative, which the GOP should be doing now.
So what name should your party have, Sarah?
I’ll Register as “Independent”, but that means I can’t vote in the Primaries, and the GOP-e RINO is a shoe-in, then.
People who have an analytic and rational mind aren’t fooled very easily. People who do whatever other people do simply because they do it are political lemmings and their actions are based upon what the crowd does and not what is of their own invention.
People who won’t leave a party that has abandoned them are simply political lemmings and the Republican party knows it. They bank on your vote and know that you will chastise others who dare to think independently.
This same scenario works out each and every national/state/local election, year after year after year.
The battle cry to keep you in is “don’t vote for that guy for you will be wasting your vote.” In fact, if you do vote for that guy you will simply be stripping a little more freedom from the tree of liberty.
It’s time to stop and make them fear us and the only way to do that is to withhold your money and votes from them and give it to someone (regardless as to what party) that will actually stand for our freedoms and rights...for the two parties we have now have no intention in doing so.
I have already done it by registering as a Conservative. I am praying that Conservatives and Tea Party Conservatives will join Sarah Palin, Rand Paul, Ted Cruz and a large majority of the American people to oppose a pointless military charade in the Middle East. Let use the opportunity to weaken the DC establishment.
I admit you’ll have no problem attracting conservatives. You just won’t be able to attract enough middle-of-the-road Republicans to win elections.
Correct, primary every last one of them, starting with Bozo the Speaker and Cantor.
I cannot speak for those in other states, but if you want a different direction for the GOP then not being registered makes no sense.
If I were to be a registered Independent, I could NOT vote in the primary and IMO gutting the party via the primary is the most viable method we have.
Creating a 3rd party would AT BEST involve MANY, MANY, future lost elections.
We need to do what the communists did to the democrat party.
IMO, we must assimilate the party with Tea Party types and that can only be done in my state if I remain a registered Republican.
The answer is that the Tea Party needs to become a "virtual party" that, rather than having candidates, promotes and endorses candidates in the various parties.
The second part of the answer is to shift the minds of conservative voters to emphasizing the primaries over the general election.
The Republican Party’s only principle is to have no principles. Its only strategy is preemptive surrender. Its only plan for victory is to tick off its base as much as possible.
The GOP long ago ceased to be a useful instrument for the advancement of conservatism.
The idea of the two-party is that the parties promote meaningful alternative policies. The Republicans are scared that someone might say something bad about them if they do that. They’re scared of their shadows.
The Republican Party was founded in the 1850s to replace the Whigs because the Whigs would NOT take a stand on the key issues of the day. Well, they did such a good job of replacing the Whigs that they have become the Whigs.
We’re told that a third party will guarantee permanent Democrat victories. Well, I imagine the Whigs making the same argument — look how that worked out.
“The idea of the two-party is that the parties promote meaningful alternative policies. The Republicans are scared that someone might say something bad about them if they do that. They’re scared of their shadows.”
Republicans don’t care if the media says something bad about them. No politician in an office higher than dogcatcher got there without being slammed.
Th GOP doesn’t fight back because they agree, for the most part, with the Dems.
It’s not Dem versus GOP. It’s the ruling elites versus all the rest of us.
The elite from both parties have a hell of lot more in common with each other than they do with the general population.
The leaders from both parties play us like fiddles and the general population, left and right, go on being played.
How is changing your registration abandoning them? You can still vote for conservative Republicans even if you're registered as an Independent (or anything else, for that matter).
Fear YOU? LOL
Yeah; just go and have your Vote nullified by some illegal who will be given Amensty BEFORE the next Election, or have your vote cancelled by a Fraudulent Dem Vote as always (Voter ID has no chance of being allowed), OR, Vote for someone no one has ever heard of, and THAT will show 'em, alright!
Your Vote is "Counted" by some unknown totalizing computer in some unknown location in a National Election, where it "sure" counts....
