I think we know the fix is in! We all know most Republicans have no balls and will sell the American people short once again. How can we blame them? I am sure they are being coerced, wined and dined, bribed and god knows the NSA info is ripe for blackmail. It is broken, two parties have become big fat pigs, sucking off the trough so much, us peons no longer have a chance.
Together they ignore our needs and pass laws that just do us harm. They are in actuality corporations, neither pay taxes and they have control of 4 trillion in spending each year and never stop regulating us.
Even Obama knows Obamacare is already dead on arrival, it can't be fixed because it's already dead and buried. They will just keep on pretending.
We do win some battles but our army sucks, they are cowards! If we elect people who give a shit about short term polls and talking heads. we are doomed!
Only a new party will change the dynamics and give the people a chance. I am so done with these turncoats, they have abandoned the Constitution they swore to uphold.
Time for some real hope and change!
I am not completely convinced it will be a spineless cave. The house is fairly safe due to the alignment of districts. I believe the senate is not as secure which is part of the senate rinos motivation to fight with the house. But then again, this could be wishful thinking.
And the two of you will recruit maybe 3 or 4 like minded people in all 535 Congressional Districts, all across the country. And this NEW PARTY will instantly have a majority in Congress, after the next election?
Get real!
The ONLY solution is to fight in the Primary, for the most Conservative candidate, and then to make sure as few Liberal Democrats as possible get elected in the General.
You have not one single person, of any stature at all, that can win any race, anywhere, under any other label than the Republican label.
Deal with that fact or you will never get anything positive accomplished.
Let’s start that conversation by acknowledging we aren’t going to deport 12 million illegal immigrants... bringing these workers out of the shadows and into being taxpaying members of society. Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers.12 million more people assimilating into society. 12 million more people being productive contributors. [but he’s not in favor of amnesty, snicker, definition of is is]
...by softening its edge on some volatile social issues and altering its image as the party always seemingly "eager to go to war... We do need to expand the party and grow the party and that does mean that we don't always all agree on every issue" ... the party needs to become more welcoming to individuals who disagree with basic Republican doctrine on emotional social issues such as gay marriage... "We're going to have to be a little hands off on some of these issues ... and get people into the party," Paul said.

...The Republican Party must embrace more legal immigration.
Unfortunately, like many of the major debates in Washington, immigration has become a stalemate-where both sides are imprisoned by their own rhetoric or attachment to sacred cows that prevent the possibility of a balanced solution.
Immigration Reform will not occur until Conservative Republicans, like myself, become part of the solution. I am here today to begin that conversation.
Let’s start that conversation by acknowledging we aren’t going to deport 12 million illegal immigrants.
If you wish to work, if you wish to live and work in America, then we will find a place for you...
This is where prudence, compassion and thrift all point us toward the same goal: bringing these workers out of the shadows and into being taxpaying members of society.
Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers.12 million more people assimilating into society. 12 million more people being productive contributors.

Sen. Rand Paul is hammering his fellow senators for keeping billions in financial aid flowing to Egypt’s military — even as Cairo’s security forces massacre anti-government activists.
[by “anti-government activists” is meant church-burning jihadists]
This is our party. We must purge the Roves , Christies, McAmnety Rubio bunch. We will very soon .NO MORE!!
Actually, this has not been “our” party for years! The problem was the leftist Republicans and it seems to still be the major problem.
It seems reasonable to me that to make gains for the future, we must either start a third party or give up altogether. I’m not for giving up at this point...but to think that the Republicans can ever provide an alternative to the Democrats is wishful thinking.
A thought that crossed my mind the other day.
I was thinking about the mischief Democrats could play in the Senate as aides for all members are coming out of a unified Senate aide pool (Something I read years ago in an article here at FR). Just thinking about the disinformation Leftist inclined aides could impart to the unsuspecting opposition should they be assigned to Conservative, or simply Republican offices.
Wondering if such is going on.
It would answer some questions about the manner some Senators seem to flow in and out of reality.
Just a thought.
We have a ONE PARTY system now. The Republican Division of the Democrat Party has a rebellious faction. That faction will never be the Republican Division, and if they do manage to “take over” they will have nothing. A new party may seem like a hopeless endeavour but it is better than continuing as the orphan brat of the Democrat Party (Republican Division).
No I respectfully disagree. LET THEM STAR A THIRD PARTY!! IT IS OUR PARTY. Either way they are finished.% million republicans are sick of these socialists.They show up— the party is ours.
Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new welfare recipients.12 million more people encysting into new ghettoes in the society. 12 million more people being reliable socialist voters and TSA recruits.
Actually, I don’t really disagree with you at all!
We are one. It is ALAMO time. Don’t stop expressing your resolve to your congressman. I did so today. FIGHT NOW OR NEVER.
You betcha!
There is another professional class in Washington other than politicians. They’re “professional congressional staff”. Most members of congress keep many of the staff of the member who proceeded them.
They're evil, not stupid.
A third party is a Democrud wet dream.. Think it through before you kill any chance to win in the near future.. By the time a third party could get really organized the socialist will have completely taken over..
Our situation now goes beyond political parties.
This country is inhabited by those who are dependent upon the government for one thing or another. If not the majority, then close enough to it to make it impossible for the pendulum to swing back to the right.
The ballot box will no longer be sufficient to save this country, third party or not, IMO.
Most people in this country are too self absorbed to care. Go along to get along is the credo of the day.
Those who want to steer this country back towards increasing the level of prosperity for all are not prepared to do what it will take to accomplish the task, and refuse to accept that the ballot box is no longer a viable mechanism to straighten out the mess we’re in.
I want to be wrong, but I doubt it.
