Article V convention.
Article 5, convention of the states.
The Tea Party has been decapitated at the federal level.
And the GOP will lose spectacularly in 2016.
Now you know how helpless and powerless Southerners felt during “Reconstruction”. Now the whole country will go through “Reconstruction” under UniParty rule.
Let's face it, though, this was a long shot from the beginning. This is the establishment's club, their playground, their rules, their players, theirs to reward or punish, with no penalty or accountability whatsoever. You're not going to get a fair shake in that one.
Rock, paper, scissors, lizard, Spock?
Here's a serious question about what should we do now - Now that we have kicked the shit out of Putin and Russia and now that's its economy is heading for the stone age, would it be in our interests to do anything to prevent its total collapse? Is it in our best interest to further humiliate Putin or should we take this opportunity to help guide Russia into the 21st century?
This is a serious question because Russia remains a nuclear power. Do we want a Russia-size version of North Korea?
Pull for Cruz now I guess.
Sit out next election.
I believe Sarah Palin might — just might — have enough charisma and popularity to beat the Third Party Curse.
We agree here that the Grand OLD Party has lost its mojo and cannot be saved, reworked or changed back into a force for good. Game over.
We also seem to agree that a third party is the only option left. And since we didn’t launch a new, conservative party after the 2010 midterms (the ideal time to launch one) or the 2012 Presidential, we are now short on time.
If we have to lose in 2016 to lay the groundwork, then so be it. (Unless you believe Jeb is the annointed savior.) Or can Sarah Palin blow past the historic problem of a third party candidacy and save the country?
The 25 should threaten to leave the GOP.
Yes there is something we can do. Most states allow the voter relief in the form of recall. The Ohio teaparty should start a petition tomorrow to recall the weeper now. Also all the one that voted for that stupid cromobus. They will not want lose power. Do what we hired you to do or we will fire you NOW not in 2 years. And if a Democrat gets the seat big deal.
Any chance that the Senate will be controlled by conservatives instead of Rhino’s?
First of all, recognize the truth. It was never possible for Boehner to be replaced.
Secondly, accept that the GOP is not and never has been, at least since 1928, a “conservative” party.
Third, accept that among Democrats and non-enrolled voters, there are more people whose interests line up with ours most of the time than there are among the GOPe. By keeping conservatives within the GOP, the GOPe wins elections it could never win on its own.
The GOP is a sham and a delusion. Yes, its destruction is going to lead to a lot of pain, because AS OF RIGHT NOW its only opposition is openly Marxist and covertly Leninist.
However, no real conservative opposition (real = chance of winning elections) can possibly emerge with the GOP in its present form.
Burn that b**** down.
