Totally agree. We need a movement not another party. It would be impossible to come up with a new party after a hundred and fifty years. They just have too much organization, money, structure and party loyalty. But we can be part of a movement which makes the party answer to us. A movement is like the ocean and a political party is like a boat. The ocean moves the boat, the boat does not move the ocean.
A word of caution, the Christian Coalition and other conservative groups tried to make a difference in the Republican Party but they were co-opted by the shape-shifters in politics. Creatures like Newt Gingrich used the Christian conservatives for their own career benefit. Now, hopefully, Christians and others will not be naive. We have had an imposter government for GENERATIONS! The truth is now coming out to the public because the destruction of the nation due to deception is now impossible to deny. For all our lives we have had a complacent “It can’t happen here.” attitude. Now many of us are waking up in shock. I am glad that I am disillusioned with our pseudo American system even though it is very painful. I would rather deal with the pain than go back to my comfortable, feel good delusional patriotism. Today my patriotism is more realistic and hard-headed much like the patriotism of the Founding Fathers who were nobody’s fools. We have been gullible and easily fooled but every day more people are waking up.

The left would love for us to abandon the GOP. I will abandon the liberal Republicans, but like the Tea Party, will work to get rid of liberal Republicans, not the Republican Party. That’s how we win.
