Because the Republican Party does not embrace and support Conservative principles.

Well then, maybe it’s time for you to spearhead the movement to form “The Conservative Party of America”, or “The Patriot Party”.
Well we certainly need a national conservative party and it should be modeled on the NY conservative party. The NYCP will endorse the GOP candidate if that candidate is sufficiently conservative if not they will run their own candidate and doom the GOP one to failure. That tactic used to give the NYCP a lot of influence in NY. Sadly NYC has turned so blue that the Rats always win statewide elections.
I don’t have the resources or clout to do that effectively, but you know how does? People like Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and many others who have made millions telling the Conservative story and who have access to those with billions. I’ve detailed ideas in previous posts about how they could become the public voice, along with the Koch Brothers, Sheldon Adelson, and other billionaires providing the financing and the Heritage Institute, Hillsdale College, Newt Gingrich, and others providing the intellectual and policy backbone to create a New Conservative Party. Maybe it’s time for them to put their money where their mouths have been for all these years, because as it is, they are the biggest supporters of the GOP which is rapidily losing any semblance of being a Conservative party.
The alternative is to somehow take control of the GOP and redefine what it is and does. And so far, I’ve heard no ideas about how that might be done.
