I think this is a discussion we need to have.

It will likely take care of itself as we will be in a total economic collapse and CWII by the next election.

Amen, brother!

I didn’t get the 17th Amendment thing at first, because I never looked into it, and now that I see how the founding fathers had originally set it up, it makes perfect sense. Why the hell did they ever change that!?

I agree 100% with the author. I think we should coalesce around a POTUS candidate and work out the details later. I would support Rand Paul, not quite the distant libertarian that his father was, but more well grounded in conservative principles.

Rand Paul - Allen West 2016 (or sooner)!

I am in agreement with the author. I am done supporting the slightly less progressive wing of the Democrats (the GOP). It has become a One Party State that is enslaving us.

It will be interesting to see what amnesty and open borders do to voter demographics by 2016. Unlike some of the optimistic, conservative pundits who crawled out of their funks post election to predict GOP victories in 2014 and 2016, I think we will see the opposite. It is very likely that George W. Bush will have the distinction of being our last Republican president. People wishing to preserve the Republican Party will probably do better to concentrate on state houses and governorships. The GOP will settle back into its comfort zone as a minority party in Washington.

Excellent stuff. Name change to Foundation Party is good. I rather like Common Sense Coalition.

Question: why did the GOP not win senate or house seats when Romney won at the top of the ticket? Answer: enough Reagan split their tickets, voting Romney at the top and staying loyal to the party the rest of the way. The GOP lost because the Tea Party / Palin / Ron Paul folks stayed home. I don’t blame them. They were insulted, screwed, and laughed at by the likes of Rove, Morris, the RNC etc. Screw the GOP. The Bush-lites want it as their own. Let ‘em have it. It is time for a third party. With hard work it could gain enough seats in 2014 to have real leverage in Congress. 50 seats in the House and 8 or 10 in the Senate could bring everything to a halt.

Idiots who think they can start at the top will be very excited by this LOL!

Work on the House first.
Then you have a base to start a national party, or take over an existing one.
Thankfully, conservatives are almost at this point in the House now!

So if you want to save America just get another 20 or 30 conservative House members elected- or at least STFU.

Ross Perot stopped the discussion when he graced us with Bill Clinton—twice. No thanks.

Obama didn’t win by a landslide. Even with the Republican candidate that the Democrats picked. The Democrats were running ads on a black network telling blacks to “Vote as if your life depends on it!” What kind of ad can they run after that? I suppose they could run ads of guys wearing white sheets hanging black people, but that might be too much for even Robert Redford.
The Democrats pulled off a win. Big deal. They don’t have a lock on the next election.

“Understand yourself and understand your opponents, and in one hundred battles, you will not be defeated.”

We were defeated. Obviously, we didn’t understand our voters or the Democrat voters or both.
