I will say it again and I think it bears repeating. Conservatism is a movement. It is not a political party. The Republican party, as with any party is simply a vessel, an instrument or medium through which conservatives operate. Eventually all parties are taken over by apparatchiks (a useful soviet term) whose only interest is the preservation of the institution rather than the promotion of an ideology. The problem is faced by the left in terms of the Democratic party.

When conservatives come to terms with the fact that their loyalty is to a movement and NOT to a party. The sooner they will stop being disappointed with the RINOs that run the party and replace them with ideologues.

Hoping in vain that the RNC and beltway leadership will change for the better is like expecting a prostitute to turn into a virgin.

The trick is to never lose sight of the goal. Our goal is to restore the Constitution. Keeping the goal in mind, when starting with a sow's ear, you have to recognize that a pigskin purse can still get the job done if properly handled.
