No. We have tried your way since Bush1 changed it back to what it was. Tell someone still stupid enough to believe the change from within crap. History shows nearly 30 years of that nonsense have a GOP now indistinguishable from and begging support from Democrats.
Fact.
Most people including diehard GOP loyalist do not know what happened after the 1994 elections. There was a major coup within the GOP. People would be real surprised to learn of the names behind it. They need to start reading here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Paxon Most persons likely never heard the name or remember him. Now for an extra added bonus who was the other keynote speaker at the 1996 GOP Convention besides Christie Todd Whitman?
Third parties have their place, but they can’t suddenly take over the GOP for every job in Washington, D.C.. They need to win a huge number of elections first.
How many jobs are there in D.C. from 3rd party elections?
I used to be a committee woman for a 3rd party, so I’m not against them per se!
Also, I supported Doug Hoffman, when he ran on the NY Conservative Party line, when liberal Republican Establishment supported liberal Dede Scozzafava instead of Hoffman. Hoffman didn’t win, but it was close, even in a three-way race, and a great effort.
btw, Palin was the first to endorse Hoffman, as far as well-known public polical people go, and Santorum was the 2nd. I love them for that.
But that doesn’t mean we can replace the GOP overnight, or even in a year, or two.
Instead of anger, or getting even, we need to have a STRONG 3rd party, which can win elections FIRST.
