Thank you.
It’s time for Americans to start a second party that will compete effectively with the Uni-Party called the United States Conservative Independent Party (USCIP)!
Yes, we desperately need to break the uniparty's hold.
PS — I mistakenly read that initialism as SICP… which made me smile.
It is the writer’s responsibility to write in a fashion that is generally understandable and connective. To do otherwise is a waste of your and our time.
It appeared you instead just spit whatever thought came to mind onto the keyboard, thinking somehow the rest of us could read your mind.
Third Way fascism, whether Clintonian or that of the Bushs, is still socialism and authoritarian socialists are just what the RepublicanEs are.
I usually suggest writing in your own name instead of voting for a RINO but if the senate votes are done every 6 years, isn’t that enough time to get a couple of candidates out there and have someone to vote for instead? Why wait till election day?
Too much work, I guess. Easier to just bitchaboutit.
Great post...fact is we have to convince enough people to vote for our candidates...all this whining about losing elections and then engaging in acts that get democrats elected is not doing anything to actually advance our cause!!
Do you not see the irony of your post??
I don’t understand.... your post.
Just what is it you are trying to say?
A Drugged Out Youth
Sexual Addictions
Out of Control Spending
Using the IRS as a Weapon
Unprotected Borders
Giving Away Citizens Votes
Guess what, I'll always VOTE AGAINST THE DEMOCRAT PARTY FROM NOW ON!
Mission Bay?
Harbor Island. 100 dock.
Look at those aligned against us:
The dhimmis
The GOP-e
The media
The globalists
The banks
Academia
The unions
Wall Street
In fact, every single one of those groups has their snout comfortably buried in the trough that we provide.
In many ways our quest is quixotic; how can a leaderless group of individuals shake up a power that's roots extend all the way down to the precinct level? Just like the heroin pusher they've addicted millions to handouts.
When there are so many parasites attached to the body politic, what medicine, short of poison, is available to remove them?
I don't know. A GOP senate will prevent the most egregious abuses of the dhimmis and rest assured if the GOP doesn't regain control of the senate the damage that the dhimmis do will be outrageous.
So its a marginal victory at best, and yet the GOP is gradually becoming more conservative. We must be in this for the long war, the long pull. Our enemies are strong; they control every lever of power.
The alternative is suicide or subjugation.
If this was important(and I stress IF), next time use ALL CAPS. IT REALLY GETS THE MESSAGE ACROSS.
Politics is not a sporting event where you sit in the stands and cheer for your team, boo the opposition, blame the officials for everything that goes wrong, and then spend the off season secure in the belief that if the team has just done as you wanted all would have been well. Politics is the method whereby we collectively choose our representatives. It is a multi tiered process usually starting at the prescient level. It is at these beginning levels where you join with like minded people to set the rules by which the later contest are conducted as well as the candidates involved in those contest. These early process are usually dominated by individuals who have a heightened interest in the final outcome and also understand that he who controls the rules controls the outcome. These early process are open to everyone but generally avoided by most. It is hard work and not suited for those with a thin skin or those who operate on the idea of “my way or the highway”.
It was in these early processes where the rules allowing cross over voting in Mississippi were established and it is only through them that the rules will be changed. Likewise the rules in Kansas and other state where residency requirements are at issue. To complain about the processes after the fact is really non productive. By the time you get to the general election, it is a contest between two candidates who have successfully survived all the early processes, making compromises at all stages and trying to appeal to a sufficiently broad coalition to gain at least one more vote than their opponent. Almost no one wins just appealing to those who agree completely with them. Having the best ideas is also meaningless if you can’t get the most votes.
You mentioned Ted Cruz and Sarah Palin being asked to help rescue Pat Roberts as a negative example. To the contrary, it is an example of two very conservative individuals who fully understand the process. They know that when it reaches this stage, it is about winning; not about whose feeling are hurt. They both are making an effort to get a person elected who they may not have supported at an early level because they know he is better than the alternative. They understand that you don’t win by loosing.
In the final analysis, everyone is going to do whatever they want, and the right to do so is one of the strengths of our system.
Isn’t there a Losertarian forum you can post to rather than FR?

Nice.
The Delcarartion of Independence and the Constitution are very clearly ANTI-STATES RIGHTS. States and all government entities have POWERS. Only PERSONS HAVE RIGHTS. Rights come from God/Natural Law to PERSONS. A person has the right to life, libertry, pursuit; a state does not have a right to life, liberty or pursuit of happiness. A person has a right to bear arms. A state does not have a right to bear arms. Same with all rights.
Use of the term “states rights” is one of the biggest blunders by conservatives in both the logic and the emotion of their arguments. Both the illogic and the misplaced emotion are counter-productive.
And so does the Republican Party — look at their non-action on all of these.
Heck, on some of them they're actively trying to find a way to make it happen.
(e.g. They're trying to be able to push through Amnesty w/o a huge loss of power, we've heard them talk about it, trying to get us to accept it.)
Guess what, I'll always VOTE AGAINST THE DEMOCRAT PARTY FROM NOW ON!
That's not the way our system works; your vote is always for someone, never against.
Moreover, there's a false dilemma embedded in your model of elections: there are more than two parties, so a vote that isn't for the first isn't necessarily for the second.
