Your right but it wont be done here.
In 2004,in Illinois, Alan Keyes won a miserable 27% of the votes.
However Keyes won 1,390,690 votes is one of the most dastardly(media) and incompetently(party) run campaigns.
That means over 1.3 million voters in Illinois(including me) are die hard conservatives. We may not have enough to win an election but we have enough to split off and have campaigners at our feet instead of the reverse.

Yep.
Having given what energies and time I have had, it is time for me to no longer take part in the decay of the elephant’s carcass.
I live in New Mexico, where Republicans have no political ignition point, and where ‘activism’ consists of coming out of the woodwork every four years to vote to continue the lifetime incumbancies of the NM self-servants.

Conservatives can still thwart this double-bind/ squeeze play/ Catch-22 of either an open borders RINO or a Democrat by forcingvia grassroots pressuretheir Electoral College REPRESENTATIVES to vote for a write-in candidate like Duncan Hunter.
We cannot let the Liberals destroy the Electoral College by secedingor let ourselves feel so desperate that we are willing to do it ourselves. The Constitutional Republic must be preserved.
The time for the PRESSURE of the POPULAR VOTE is coming soon, far before November and in advance of the RNC Convention.
The Liberals dont have near the power over the entire process they wantor want us to believe.
And meanwhile, some prayer and fasting isnt at all a bad idea.

Start practicing bowing to Mecca, then. Because that will be the consequence if der Hildebeast or Barack Hussein are elected.
Which reminds me, I need to send Ross Perot a thank-you card for convincing enough idiots like you to give us Bill Clinton. That worked out real well, didn’t it.
The correct thing to do: do your best to get the best candidate nominated. Then do your best to see that the worst candidate gets defeated in the general election. That is: vote for in the primaries; vote against in the general.

It’s a 2 party system. We all have to choose one or the other, or else choose not to participate. Being in a third party is a way of not participating.
To: John Leland 1789
When will people wake up and understand a God centered, principled conservative third party isn't going to hob-nob with CFR globalist elites at Group of Eight, NATO, EU and intellectual debates in Switzerland? The power is entrenched and sharing it isn't fashion.

I am weary of politicians who are so enamored with their positions that they will compromise any principle to stay in office. I am amused that some people are actually shocked that politicians will act like politicians.

We don't need to dump it, we need to treat it like a dog. When it is naughty, whack it over the nose with a newspaper. When it is good praise it extravagantly. What the party needs is a conservative party whisperer.

The GOP has moved so far to the socialist left that it has merged with the socialist Democrats. They are essentially one party.
