The ONLY way change will take place in government is to shock the hell outta them by electing true conservatives outside the two party system.

Stun the status quo by recruiting viable, staunch conservative candidates, throw your time, talent and treasure behind them. Get’em in office.

The Tea Party was duped into calming down and moving back into the Republican party with empty promises of reform.

We now know, this did not happen. Boehner was elected speaker and Tea party members were tamped down and marginalized.

Drives me batty. So many still fly the Republican banner after being betrayed time after time.

Third party advocates usually overlook the truly huge movement of people from the Republican to the Democrat column under LBJ, and the even larger movement of people from the Democrat to the Republican column under Nixon and Reagan.

Those movements far outweighed any conceivable third-party development.

The writer of this article is right in so many ways.

However, he does not address the real problem standing in the
way of sending more conservatives to DC.

These many states GOP “Open” primaries MUST BE CLOSED!

Does anybody believe that McCain could have won the AZ GOP primary if it wasn’t open?

Lugar has a chance to win in Indiana because the Indiana GOP has an “Open” primary.

Until the rules are changed in states who have open primaries, not much else will change.

CLOSE STATE GOP PRIMARIES TO ONLY GOP VOTERS.
