BULL SHYT!!!!!
They put themselves right where they are.
THEY supported the bill that made the cliff.
THEY allowed the tax cuts to have an expiration date.
THEY failed to field any decent candidates last election cycle.
THEY failed to support most of the conservatives running last cycle (Michelle Bachmann comes to mind)
THEY keep sending limp, spineless SOB’s back to leadership positions.
THEY continue to piss on not only the party platform and the Constitution but the very conservatives who sent them there!
THEY just passed an unconstitutional tax bill that started in the senate that THEY didn’t bother to read.
I did not leave the republican party. It left ME and the people I support behind years ago.
As good as they could MY A$$... They could have shut it down. NO ONE that pays taxes would have missed much of anything. The tit suckers, eff um. I don’t care.
Last year I damn near broke 6 figures.
This year, I’ll make sure my tax bill is as little as possible. I don’t need the extra money.
I am going galt.

IMHO, the best chance is to take the republican party back to its' principles of limited, constitutional government. Join your county Republican committee, use the ideas below.
I have been a member of my county committee years ago when I had time, and plan to get on it again in a couple of years when I retire.
There are two very important weapons for this war. The left has been very adept at using them. Their use doesn't seem to be taught in schools or much of anywhere else, in fact most people aren't even aware of there existence.
Robert's Rules of Order and Mason's Rules.
Parliamentary procedure.
Mason's has nothing to do with the Masonic organization, it just happens to be the name of the author.
There may be other rule sets, but these are the ones I've used.
You can click below for info on Mason's rules. These are the rules most legislatures use. It is customized for each one.
Roberts Rules can be found in paperback on Amazon or your local book store.
To start fighting the war, join your county Republican Committee.
Find out which set of rules it is run by.
Either find another like thinking small government, constitutional government thinker there, or recruit one.
With the proper use of parliamentary procedure, you can take over an amazing amount with just two people.
For instance, you word an amendment to sound good. You propose the amendment, you friend seconds it. You or he moves to move the amendment, the other seconds it. Done quickly you can get things voted on before your opposition even knows what happened.
So far I think the best way to get things done is dragging the Republican party back to the constitution and small government, then chip away at the mess the rats and rinos have created.
As long as Tea Party members and Freepers are sitting on the sidelines, not getting into the grass roots and getting on their county committees, and then next onto the state committes, we might as well just resign ourselves to life under communism.
