I want a Conservative Party to register in. I don’t give a damn at this point if I am “throwing my vote away.”
I just want a Conservative Party to register in and I want the GOPe to see that they’ve lost me and to know that they only way to bring me back into the fold is by nominating conservatives.
I dream of a Conservative Party of millions of disgruntled conservatives big enough that the GOP is salivating over getting their votes — meaning they have to run conservatives to do so.
If we all stay as registered Republicans, we are rewarding them and they will never get the message we DEMAND conservative candidates, the way the left listens to their base DEMANDING hard communists.
The only hope I see for reforming the GOP is to leave it and show them the huge numbers of voters they could draw if they nominate conservatives. And if they don’t, well screw them because I will vote for the Conservative candidate, not their dirty damn RINOs.

Good luck. That isn’t going to work.
Yesterday’s election produced “huge numbers” of voters — who voted for Obama, voted for what he will “give to them”, voted for what he represents. Those voters have made their intentions very clear to us.
If a Republican candidate as “conventionally attractive” as Romney could not pull these folks towards our side — presumably because the left sought to portray Romney as “extreme” and/or “too conservative” — what makes you think they will be attracted to a REAL conservative? Are you really serious about this?
Virginia, Iowa, Ohio, Colorado, and it looks like Florida — ALL of them voted a SECOND TIME for Obama. I contend that these can no longer be considered “battleground” states — they are clearly “tipping over” towards the blue side. And Obama is as leftist a candidate as has ever been put before the American people. Look at whom they chose.
I have no answers as to what could replace the Republican party. Certainly not a “conservative” party, which would take away from the Pubbies, and make it easier for the ‘rats to win.
The country is now divided. No need to try to explain to you what “the two sides” are.
Of course, “our side” would like to just be left alone to live in peace. But the left will never permit that. NEVER.
How do you really suggest that they be prevented from achieving dominance?
