Second, they must broaden the base of the Republican Party

Who the hell cares about broadening the GOP base? What the hell happened to standards and principles. I sell out every election cycle for half wits and morons in the General. Why in the world should I do so in a Primary? Good heavens. This makes no sense.

Kinda makes one wonder where the money funding all these ‘blogs’ comes from don’t it?

Heaven forbid we get Romney. How fast can we assemble a viable 3rd party with a write in?

Reagan agreed with that.

Excerpts From Ronald Reagan's 1975 Speech To CPAC

I don ‘t know about you, but I am impatient with those Republicans who after the last election rushed into print saying, "We must broaden the base of our party"--when what they meant was to fuzz up and blur even more the differences between ourselves and our opponents.

It was a feeling that there was not a sufficient difference now between the parties that kept a majority of the voters away from the polls. When have we ever advocated a closed-door policy? Who has ever been barred from participating?

Our people look for a cause to believe in. Is it a third party we need, or is it a new and revitalized second party, raising a banner of no pale pastels, but bold colors which make it unmistakably clear where we stand on all of the issues troubling the people?

Let us show that we stand for fiscal integrity and sound money and above all for an end to deficit spending, with ultimate retirement of the national debt.
