Straw man arguments - I never said we should do the same thing over and over again, and I gave very specific reasons why giving up and letting Dem/thugs have the next 2 or 3 election cycles is suicide.
You did not address any points I made in my comment to you nor my one above to possum john. You will note that I addressed your whining that the MSM trashed the Tea Party and Repub “brands”. Any new party/organization/slogan/ideas/ etc that conservatives come up with will obviously be equally trashed, as the MSM is the hand puppet of lefitsts/Dems. Trying to make it so the MSM “likes” conservatives is idiocy multiplied a millionfold.
We need actual Constitutionalist conservatives running as Rs who are pit bull attack dogs.
There is no doubt that we need Constitutionalist conservatives to run for office, but they fight a losing battle when they have to fight against their own party as well as the Democrats. I have on several occasions seen good conservatives pretty much locked out by the GOP establishment in favor of the more ‘moderate’ candidates. It has gotten to the point that we have little to gain from affiliating ourselves with the GOP.

LJ, here is your entire response to me:
‘We abandon the presidency for the next 2-3 cycles and concentrate our efforts on getting Tea Party-type people into a majority position in the House and Senate - local and state efforts, not national efforts - more under the radar. If we’re able to get a majority of conservative candidates into congress, whoever is President is immaterial.’
More actual conservative Congressmen is good; fat chance on Senators, and to top it all off, with massive election fraud now the Dems SOP plus ruling by Executive Order and Fed agencies by unilateral fiat, we’re freaking doomed without serious fightback. Giving up on anything but Dem/thug presidents for 2 or 3 cycles is utter suicide.”
Did you read what I wrote? Do you understand the phrase “under the radar”?
Just what “points” am I supposed to respond to? Your snarky opinion about the 3 Stooges? Your agreement with me that actual conservative congressmen is good? Your OPINION that there is a “FAT CHANCE” that we’ll get more conservative senators - addressed to a Texas resident who just helped elect Ted Cruz? Your OPINION that any other way than through the Democrat Lite, I mean, Republican, Party “is utter suicide” ?
Didn’t read your post to Possum John - don’t care what you said to him and it has nothing to do with our “conversation” - or the conversation I was trying to have with you. In the future, if you want me to pay attention to something you say, then make sure you copy me on it.
All I did was make a suggestion that we need to look at a different strategy, because what we’ve been doing for the last 20 YEARS isn’t working. If you don’t agree with my OPINION, fine. I never presented this as FACT - other than the media destroying (with their help) the GOP brand. Haven’t been able to figure out how that was interpreted as “whining”, or how anything I said could be interpreted a a need for the media to “like” us. I’m still working on those leaps.
What is it with you that you can’t have an adult conversation without slamming someone for thinking differently, belittling their ideas or calling them names? You act like you’re 16 years old and have ALL the answers, just like we all did when we were 16 - before we found out there was a lot of stuff out there that we didn’t even know existed, figured out that people have different opinions for very good (or bad) reasons and that there are just some people who can’t face reality and do what is necessary to save their own lives.
When you’re ready to discuss the subject like an adult without the snarky comments, get back to me, or not. Otherwise, we’re done. (I expect to get a snarky reply from you, but I’m looking forward to being happily disappointed. I just don’t think you’ll be able to let it go. I couldn’t when I was 16.)
