Not sure how old you are, but I lived though the Carter years when the future looked pretty dreary and grim...
Granted these times are different in many ways, but the vast majority of Americans still have the spirit of exceptionalism in their blood and soul...
We just need to leadership to give us a vision of the "shining city on the hill" again...
God willing they will rise again...
just keep doing what you’re doing. It’s working so well.
My sides are aching laughing so hard. I got news for you The DEMS have been ruling for a very long time except the two years Newt was allowed to be Speaker before the likes of John Boehner masterminded a plot to remove him. Look it up. Most Republicans are clueless as to the depths Boehner will go for the DEMs. Now who do you suppose gave Boehner that idea?
The GOP is full of DEMs. My two Tennessee GOP Senators are DEMs -R. Oh and for the added extra bonus the Bush's the beloved Saints of GOP-E now have an adopted brother. Can you guess his name and party? GOP Rule my Eye.. Spit!!!!
IMP support also means vote. My GOP Congressman Chuck Fleischmann has lost my vote for good as of Thursday night. My two Stooges RINODEM Senators never had my vote not even for Lamar Alexander's first term. I knew better.
Since January 1989 I have watched all elected POTUS & Both Houses from then till now Whiz away our rights, freedoms, money, and our kids futures to appease an Oligarchy of Evil under the fraudulent vessel of Trade. An Elite group of thugs who make Carnegie, Vanderbilt, Rockefeller, and Morgan back in their day look like saints. It has to be a Constitution vs Oligarchy.
I have Zero in common with the likes of Da Bushs, Clintons, Alexander, Corker, Romney, Christie, McCain, Perry {for the most part}, Huckleberry, Obama, Gore, McConnell, Boehner, Graham, Reid, Pelosi, etc and the list is many.
Unless someone running for office is willing to uphold and defend the Constitution of The United States so help them GOD they are my political enemy and an enemy to my nation. I will not enable any more tyrants with my vote. I don't give a Tinker D what party they claim to be in.
We don't need to form a third party. That is a recipe for disaster. We need to take back OUR party and kick the RHINOs to the curb.
I was Ten years old when Harry Truman was re-elected.
In light of what happened in Mississippi, just how do we do that? Removing the “turds” is not going to happen. The republican party is over; we need to have the courage to face it.
And by the way, perhaps you are not old enough to remember the first time Perot ran before he got goofy. He had an excellent chance of being elected and likely would have. The polls were showing 1/3 of the electorate for each of the 3 candidates. Then Perot dropped out and of course lost most of his support. He then came back but only 10% of his original support came back to him. I do think Perot was only in the race to get Clinton elected, hence his behavior.
But I do think that a plainspoken conservative, unafraid of the press and unconcerned with political correctness, who is serious about winning and not going to drop out if he finds himself ahead in the polls and likely to win, will indeed win.
Plus, a strong third party conservative candidate who pills so much support away from the liberal RINO that the democrat wins, will send a message to the GOPe whores that cannot be ignored. Either they embrace and represent their base, or they lose.
When in the history of this country, before now, has the the largest voter bloc ever knowingly chosen as their party leaders and representatives people who are blatantly dishonest and whose core beliefs (if they have any) are so utterly opposed to those people whose votes they expect to keep them in office, and told they most go along with this or else! You can go along with this if you chose, but I, in my senior years, am utterly fed up with it. I will never again cast my vote for a candidate who is unworthy of his office and unworthy of the people. I will either vote 3rd party or write in the name of a person who I admire and respect.

I think so; the 2012 Libertarian candidate [Gary Johnson] was far better than either Romney and Obama.
Sounds good to me.
