Whether a Conservative Third Party would actually come to existence or not - or make it to maturity or not... The Republican Elite Establishment (RINO - The Aloof Democrat Lite Repugs) Will Not listen to Conservatives unless a serious threat is made to move Conservative Votes to a unified voting Bloc.
We could stay or go - leave the Republican Party or stay on as a loyal contingent. BUT - UNTIL we seriously threaten the Republican Establishment or removal of our votes — we Conservatives will be NOTHING in their eyes except Votes on Demand. You know - ‘engineer’ - force the nomination of Juan McCain - RINO - Liberal - Illegal Alien lover — as he is and fully expect Conservatives to be enthusiastic about the Republican Party - and many fall right in line.
REVOLT against the Republican Establishment, I say.
Replace Them - Retire Them... or Move on to greener pastures - because as long as the RINO / Democrat Lite Establishment has control of the Republican Party - WE HAVE NO VOICE - None — Bottom Line. Just look at the knee jerk response that Steele made (pressured by the Elites) - notice he said he as sorry. A few phone calls from the Repug Elites and Steele will be back on track - behind the scenes - Bowing and Curtsying to the Elites who have forgotten who Ronald Reagan was - or perhaps never knew...
The best way to do this is for conservatives to:
1) Get involved in the GOP apparatus at the county level. Flood the county Party with motivated conservative activists who will be able, at the next county convention, to get elected as precinct chairs and on the Executive Committee (or analog).
2) Once the counties are on board, have the ECs for each county network with each other to promote and elected solid conservative candidates at the state level.
3) Once the state level apparati are taken over, conservatives in each state Party then network with other state Parties to come to a consensus on solid conservative candidates, and then the national Party will be open to taking because it is representatives from the state Parties who have the bulk of the votes needed to elect the national Executives, and who decide who will be on things like the RCCC and RNSC and so forth.
All of this that I've outlined above could be accomplished, in most states at least, within two years. In the meantime, conservatives can network with each other to operate outside of any Party apparatus not under our control yet. For instance, instead of giving money to the NRSC and RCCC, we can develop our own parallel structure and decide who to give money to, in the primaries too if a challenge is needed to knock off a RINO incumbent.
This talk of another "conservative third party" is foolish, unmitigatedly stupid nonsense. There'd be no better way to ensure Democrat domination for a generation. Why waste our energies on third parties which are generally just ego trips for vain individuals who want to get attention to themselves anywise?
