Not sure what to tell you in this regard. A LOT of conservatives are coalescing around the belief that the "Establishment" portion of the Republican party (Big monied donors, North East Country Club types, etc.) are deliberately working at cross purpose to conservative principles, and very much like them some big government just so long as THEY get to direct the cash flow.
A Lot of conservatives have come to the conclusion that these people will not fight to reduce the size and scope of government because they don't truly believe in the principles they are espousing.
A Lot of conservatives have come to the conclusion that these people are a greater threat to the conservative movement than are the Liberal Democrats, for they operate under the guise of an ally when they do their dirty work. At least we recognize right off that Democrats are the enemy, and so we know what to expect from them.
My point is, these are fundamental differences that divide, and i'm afraid there is going to have to be winners and losers in this particular argument, because the goals of each group are simply incompatible with each other.
The Amnesty issue comes to mind.
In a nation of 318 million people and 130 million voters, Big Tent parties can win, small tent parties cannot win. If conservatives are divided, liberals will win. There can be internecine warfare within the conservative movement for the soul of the Republican Party during the primaries but failure to coalesce after that is politically suicidal.
So then what is the answer and don’t tell me third party. That spells doom.
