> I despise these vermin. If the Conservatie base can’t take over the party as we did under Reagan, it’s time to DESTROY it and form a third party, banning all these establishment hacks from participation

I don’t think you really have to at this point. I think a 3rd silent party has already formed and the Tea Party is largely responsible for it; a party that doesn’t pay attention to partisanship and votes for the right man for the job regardless of the letter that follows his name. We need to focus on changing term limits and weeding out corruption which is so common in government and politics its considered the norm now.. No more lifetime appointments. Two consecutive terms only; maybe 4 max. They can be allowed to be re-elected after a at least 1 term off and the only reason for this is there are some good Senators and Representatives who do a good job but they are few and far between. I’m not crazy about the use of PACs either because they can be abused (badly). There is much more to do in the integrity of the electoral process as well.

“They can be allowed to be re-elected after at least 1 term off “

I’d say a decade off between another run at the office. One term is nothing but a fund-building period. Ten years is better; they’d have to find “real jobs” to support their families over that extended period of time.
