I believe the GOP Big Tent RINO/Liberal/Moderate party is beyond salvaging. Now in the hands of wealthy country club/silk sock elitists, they are very quickly purging the conservatives to return the GOP to its Bob Michael go-along-to-get-along pure pablum days as a never-win-on-any-issue loser party. It's happened already here in Orange County where a well heeled gaggle of liberals has managed to hijack the party from the conservatives who were formerly in charge. They have completely lost the conservatives who want nothing to do with them. At the state level we have the Arnold enthusiasts, otherwise known as the CRP--another useless gaggle of RINOs and liberals.
So, a third party of hard right rudder conservatives with no room for the GOP Big Tent losers? I'm ready.
Iron Matron mentions the Constitution Party. They seem to be "purists," which may not always work in politics. But I admire the strength of their convictions, even if I don't always agree with them.
Something tells me that with a large influx of Republicans, pro-life Zell Miller Democrats, and right wing (non-anarchist) Libertarians, they would be able to fine tune their political message to reach a wider group of Americans.
