There has to be a couple of retired NBA or MLB people...in their 50s to 60s...geared for a job like this.

Burgess Owens was elected to Congress last November. He is retired NFL (Raiders), black, and a Mormon convert.

I have his book "Libeeralism". He is conservative enough, but no intellectual (and his book needed a better editor).

I bought the book because he impressed me on an interview with Glenn Beck.

He joined the Mormons after they helped rehabilitate him from a messed up life. We may not be big fans of the Mormon religion, but some of them are great allies (e.g. Bay Buchanan) and the folks in Utah favor them, and they get a big say in their reps.

Can’t we all agree that we need a NEW political party?

The GOP is today’s Whig Party.

I’m out until that happens and then I run as county head of the new party.

I’m not wasting my time anymore with the GOP. They are just worthless as an opposition party or as a party that represents Americans.

The Mormon leadership are globalists as they are Mormon first, and it transcends nation borders.

They are in substance LESS American than most Americans because of this.

Mike Lee has probably received huge amounts of money under the table from the Indian H1-B industry as this is the way it is done.

Hell, we need a new form government for that matter. The perverted, bloated, tyrannical Frankenstein’s monster that the United States government has become needs to meet the ash heap of history. And may the Earth where this Demonic amalgamation stood be barren and desolate forever.

If I recall, Lee won his nomination against another globalist Mormon.

Mormon leadership may be an issue, but there have to be good rank and file Mormons, and Owens is likely one of them.

Utah has plenty of conservatives, and Mormons dominate, so we support the best of the lot.

I am a Roman Catholic, and the less said about present leadership, the better. That doesn't mean that Justice Scalia had the same problems.

We don’t need a new form of government. We need people who abide by the Constitution and are brave enough to imprison those who do not.

If true, yes, his job is done, but that job was to increase the visa’s for more foreign workers to take the jobs of Americans — and he has done that. Now, he can leave the Senate and be hired by those who he served — big tech and those wanting cheap foreign labor.

“ We need people who abide by the Constitution and are brave enough to imprison those who do not.”

That’s a dead letter now.

What once was is no more.

If you want something like that again, it will have to re-envisioned and reestablished anew, much in the manner the original was in a different day and different time.

I like dreamin’, too.

Good luch with that.

What’s your plan for finding them and getting them to run, win and remain that way, once in office?

We need to primary as many of these as possible in 2022.

The first order of business is to push out the corrupt RINO Establishment. Once we have full control over the Republican Party, then we can focus on fighting the Democrats. There is no chance however if we allow the RINOs to hang around so they can stab us in the back over and over again.

Same thing. Replacement migration of Democrat voters.

I didn’t state it was possible, only that is was a better alternative to starting over.
