Well that's a steaming pile. The elected RINOs and wimpy conservatives are responsible for the mess, the voters have written conservative platforms. That's two markedly different groups of people at opposite ends of the scale.

Really? You gonna try and use that argument when you are saying that anyone who doesn't vote for someone with an 'R' after their name is an 'enemy of the American people'??

Cannot absolve the people in a party who vote for someone just because they have an 'R' after their name when the fruits of the Ruling Class stooges in the oligarchy have been staring at them in the face for decades.

Not that I'm any better. I did the same thing for decades and stand guilty with the party itself for buying into the lie that voting for Republicans was better than voting for a Democrat when Conservatism itself was continually marginalized and harmed by the very people I kept electing to office…. just because they had an 'R' after their name.

Because I put expedience before principles because I bought into the lie that voting for the lesser of two evils was righteous. It wasn't - it was still voting for evil.

But I have repented of that sin. Principles must dictate my actions, or I am no better than those who think they can change and adjust principles to suit their desires on a whim.

That's hardly the point.

I'd be saying the same thing about the RATs if they weren't overt communists, and had some conservatives in their ranks, the conservatives would need to take over that party...but that's not the case.

I seriously doubt that you can find a RINO who was a member of a radical leftist group in college, or who studied and taught Marxism as a professor, but they are worthless opportunists (useful idiots to the WWP)

This is not the same "hold your nose/lesser of two evils" meme, we have so many ticking time bombs both domestically and on the world stage totally due to RAT policies.

We can point to FDR and the mainstreaming of socialism, LBJ, Great Society, MediCaid, Medicare, and the destruction of the black family and black middle class, Carter, responsible for the rise of modern state sponsored terrorism, Clinton and the creation of Bin Laden, Obama, fomenting the "Arab Spring" which gave us ISIS.

Plus, the RATs control the cities, education and the media.

This is all going to hit us like a ton of bricks, and the RATs will do nothing but help them.

There is no easy-street peace-time window to frig around attempting to create a third party.

But I have repented of that sin. Principles must dictate my actions,

Your principles elect democrats, you need to turn it the other way around.

We have one major Republican figure in Maine that I can truly appreciate....Governor Paul LePage, conservative Republican. He got elected with 38% of the vote.

If you want to apply your "third party" principles, run a conservative in the closed primary, and then run a competing independent to pull votes from the RAT.
