“Third party anyone?”
Dems would love that.
However, I think what the RNC needs is for people to not send them any money. Losing money is the most important thing to get their attention. RNC cares more about $$ than even winning elections.
You can always give any $$ you would have given to the RNC to CONSERVATIVE, PRO-LIFE candidates.
“However, I think what the RNC needs is for people to not send them any money. Losing money is the most important thing to get their attention. RNC cares more about $$ than even winning elections.”
The RNC is doing the bidding of the people and organizations who give the big money. If a few voters giving a few hundred dollars a year go away, it makes no difference. One $10,000 per plate dinner in New York will raise more money for the RNC than the contributions of everyone posting on the Free Republican.
All the RNC really wants from conservatives is their votes on election day. As long as we continue to show up at the polls reliably to hold our nose and vote, they’ll continue to pander to conservatives during the 6 months before an election and then go do the bidding of the Wall Street bankers, wealthy individuals, and multinational corporations who fund the RNC.
As long as conservative continue to fall for the RNC core premise “vote for our man because the other guy is worse’ we will continue to be betrayed and abused. When there are two major parties, and the opposition party will not fight the tyrannical majority party because it secretly supports the same policies (look at Romney), the system has been corrupted. The only way to fix the system is to found a third party committed to preserving individual liberty and founding principles. Give the people three clear choices:
1) Communism (Democrats)
2) A blend between crony capitalism and socialism (Republicans)
3) Small government (a new Freedom Party)
The RNC is committed to big government crony capitalism and big government socialist entitlement programs. Currently there is no small government conservative choice and the RNC will not change. The lesson of the Tea Party in 2010 is evidence. The GOP would never have captured the House in 2010 without the Tea Party. As soon as the election was over, the RNC establishment worked with the Democrats and the media to destroy the Tea Party. Today the RNC works against every major Tea Party issue (immigration, taxes, spending, and Obamacare repeal).
Splitting the vote between three choices might be the only way of saving this country. Staying inside the Republican Party is a losing proposition for conservatives because we always have to fight the establishment before engaging the Democrats. Plus the establishment today has no enthusiasm for truly fighting the Democrats.
If Palin, Cruz, Lee, and a few other Senators plus 1/3 of the Republican House delegation and a few prominent governors would break off and form a new party, the Tea Party would be reenergized and provide the ground troops for a new party. Building a new party from scratch is probably not feasible. Building a new party as a breakaway from an existing party is very feasible if a few high profile politicians join and some big money backers can be found.
I'm pretty sure obama would find them some money if they ran short. After all, they're one and the same when it comes right down to it.
