Ping!
I'd agree, but under the circumstances, we need to just get one party straightened out.
Seems this fellow never heard of Teddy and The Bull Moose party.
Aren't you overlooking one thing?
BTW, we don't have long in getting control of that one party. If we don't wrest the reins of the GOP from the RINOs (and somehow keep the RATs out of power while we do so) by 2012, it's financially over.
O.K. Let me in on what I'm overlooking. Of course I'm not the author and would be happy to give you a contact e-mail address. However, you can just post it here and he'll see it.
I completely agree. We have to get rid of these darn rhinos.
BTTT! BTTT! BTTT!
This is a very good article.
By all means let the conservative, anti-socialism Republicans come forth! I'm eager to vote for them. :-)
(Just don't expect me to put my support behind the other kind.)
Actually, he has. Teddy Rossevelt's Bull Moose candidacy gave us the original New World Order Prez, the 'RAT Woodrow Wilson.
There has been exactly one successful third-party; the Republican Party (which knocked off the Whigs between 1856 and 1860. Even then, it took the Pubbies two elections to win (and the Civil War followed as the Southern RATs refused to abide by the results of the election).
gives me an idea, actually. many of us who live behind enemy lines in NJ, NY, CT, etc are somewhat more "fiery" out of necessity. maybe it's time for us to organize "renegade Republicans"
Most "conservative Republicans" would not support the following "meaningful Constitutional reform."
Minimum wage law violates Amendment V
Airport searches and siezures by "federalized" employees violates Amendment IV.
Federal laws limiting or banning the unconditional use of "drugs" by free citizens,whether for medicinal or recreational purposes, violates Amendment IX.
The Patriot Act requirement for banks to hire a dedicated employee to monitor financial transactions violates Amendment V.
"Compelling state interest" is not a constitutional position to justify our government denying and disparaging rights.
Discrimination for any reason is a private property issue and any federal law to the contrary violates Amendment IX.
Current "commerce clause" interpretation is grossly expansive beyond the founders original intent and needs to be reeled in.
This would invalidate most federal regulations which would include overtime rules, 40 hour weeks, health insurance, OSHA, age, race, and gender anti-discrimination laws, etc.
Social Security membership is "voluntary."
In other words, most "conservative Republicans" support the "socialist" system that exists in this republic today.
Minor correction, Spiff. It's the National Federation of Republican Assemblies.
We just formed a chapter here in Pennsylvania.
I am convinced that once we run truly principled conservative candidates, we will bring coutless millions of disenchanted conservative 3rd party voters and non-voters back into the revived GOP. As it is now, too many candidates are worthy of a vote.
I know that I don't get excited over candidates like Lesser Of Twoevils or Hesnot Asbadas Theotherguy.
On behalf of the author, I'll say thank you. He appreciates you comments. And I totally agree with you. Were working on it as well.
First things first. Get President Bush elected and then focus the long term strategy from the grass roots up. Make America all it can be.
Here is a contact e-mail for the author: eig@padre-island.us
Don't make me Howard Dean you, tahiti! I'm rolling up my sleeves now.
And you're right. Exactly right. But we've got to change it and we can't sit here and wish it were changed. We've got to try. Otherwise, what's the point. Wouldn't you agree? Or am I alone on an island full of self-doublters. ;-)
Sounds like a winner.
