For a long time, many Conservatives have struggled with this question... and the guilt associated with it.

At this point, I don't feel the least allegiance to the GOP and they'd be REAL hard put inducing me to accept a nominee of theirs.

I certainly will NOT be sending any $$$ to them. That's OUT. I think if true Conservatives would choke off all $$$ to the GOP, they'd certainly feel it. It's the only language they know... it may take a while... but it will hurt them. Vote with your dollars and boycott all the GOP BS!

Today, TODAY, the GOP will coverup Benghazi,
ignore the IRS atrocities, ignore the open borders,
continue to force RomneyCARE/ObamaCARE down the throats
of Americans.

The GOP helps Obama destroy America, but wants
the destruction to be slower.

Minor correction for the “Next Ice Age”.

We’ve BEEN in an Ice Age for the past 40 or so million years. We’re STILL in it, merely between Continental Glaciations.

Which is why all the hullabaloo about EITHER “Global Warming” or “The Next Ice Age” is so laughable. Both pre-supposed that planetary processes, which occur over geological time frames of tens to hundreds of millions of years, are significantly affected by events occuring in purely human timescales. . .

I wrote last year that many conservative voters act like they have Battered Wife Syndrome, that runs back to the husband thinking that this time it will be different when it won’t and never will be. I was mocked around Here but....

I for one don’t believe that the GOP is the stupid party - they know exactly what they are doing and that’s being honest that they hate their base.

1. Look, the majority of the GOP leadership lend towards big government in some fashion or form, they don’t think exactly like Pelosi or Dick Durbin but government largess is on their mind

2. most the the advisors and consultants are liberals as are most of the big donors, who are socially liberal and love big government too because it means they get paid too.

Take all of that together along with lobbyists and you got a party that despises its base. Even Rush said some years ago how at these cocktail parties he went to that the important people there told him that they are embarrassed by the GOP base..ie...social conservatives and now the Tea Party.

How many times did Rush mention in 2011 how many of these socialites would berate people like Sarah and he would get mad at their attacks of her.

The point to all of this - is that they couldn’t care less with we leave the party. Yeah they may be a minority party because of this but in Washington DC there is no such thing as a true minority - they will still hold power in some form and they will still have the crony big donors so that in most elections they can spend tons of money to tear down the Tea Party/ Freedom Party candidates and win most of them. As long as the gravy train continues in their eyes then they are safe and they believe that they will finally be liked by the media in these interviews and cocktail parties

Why Should I Vote GOP ?

Because some day, in the distant future, in an alternate universe, they might flub up and nominate a conservative for president.

==

When was the last time the GOPelite or GOP President made any move to the right?

Yeah, Bush did with SCJC Roberts and we know how Roberts pretzeled a decision to force Obamacare on us.

Yeah, Bush did nominate SC J Alito, but that was only after a near riot at the Miers nomination.

That is a sum total of about 3/4 of a point.

Open-checkbook George also started the bailouts as the economy began collapsing.

==

What bills currently are being pushed by the GOP/Republicans that actually have a chance of passing and are movements to the right?

I never really understood how the republican came up with the idea to be the Grand Old Party, when they are a younger party than the RATS.

I personally hate the moniker of GOP - there is nothing grand about them, or what they stand for. They are only there to line their own pockets while screwing the rest of us

Seriously, for the first time in a long time I am optimistic about the *future* of the Republican party. Why? Because there is a slow and methodical purge being done of the old RINO/Country Club Republicans. It’s not easy and it’s not quick, but it is determined.

Granted, the “old guard” are entrenched, but they are being attacked across a broad front, and are often losing.

This is because the same, failed tactics that they use and lose against the Democrats, called a “static defense”, is the same tactic they use against conservatives. And, as Napoleon Bonaparte observed, a static defense is slow suicide.

And yes, as meeching and humble as the RINOs are to Democrats, and as vicious and cheating they are to conservatives, they are still losing.

At this point, there are few left in the senate, and their days are numbered, except for those who buy their seats, and even they are scared. And in the house, they are counting their last days.

Importantly, at the same time, conservative senators are rising up, and showing their own power. It is far riskier to do so in the house, where punishment can be swift and devastating.

Finally, and this is a trump card, at the state level, conservative Republicans are crushing liberal Democrats in the red and purple states. And once in power, this puts pressure on the state party organizations to purge its own liberal Republicans. Then they put pressure on their congressmen and senators as well.

With the removal of the Voting Rights handicap against Republicans, which basically allowed the Democrats to cheat in elections, the Democrats are going to be devastated in the next elections. Without being able to cheat the truth emerges: that they have been a small, radical minority party, pushing around the majority, for decades.

And it is time for it to end.

So do not despair, hold on for a while longer, and keep the feet of your congressmen and senators to the fire. Either they vote conservative, no matter what they say, or they had better prepare their resume.

Why Should I Vote GOP?

Perhaps you shouldn't.

Perhaps you should strongly consider voting for candidates who offer a chance of honoring their oath to the Constitution regardless of political affiliation.

If you usually vote Republican, I suggest you contact with your local Tea Party group for candidates who favor the government called for in our Constitution.

If you usually vote Democrat, I suggest you contact your local Tea Party group or form a Liberal Tea Party group and find candidates who favor a constitutional government.

In either case, support an effort to remove incumbent Representatives who have not honored their oath to the Constitution. The grass roots Tea Party Patriots’ strategy is to replace corrupted incumbent Republicans via the primary process. That same strategy could also serve to replace corrupted incumbent Democrats.

The Republican party ceased to exist decades ago by merging with Democrats to become socialist Republicrats. They give the appearance of two distinct parties in public but unite behind closed doors under what they term “bipartisanship” for the purpose of centralizing their power to usurp the people’s Constitutional rights.

As a Conservative...

*Marriage is between a man and a woman only

As a Conservative I know that marriage is not the business of the Federal Government.

Abortion, for any reason, real or imagined, is murder

As a Conservative I know that abortion is not the business of the Federal Government.

Capitalism is the only economic system that works

As a Conservative, I know that capitalism exist in all forms of governing. The difference between capitalism under socialism and capitalism under America's Constitution is that the Constitution allows, nay, encourages, private ownership of the capital.

“Our Constitution was made for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”John Adams

Buckley’s rule applies: Vote for the most conservative candidate who can win.

Also move to a red state. The left has blue state elections wrapped up for the most part.
