Until the last year or so I would have agreed with you, but the Republican house is infested with termites and not cockroaches. The termites have destroyed the stucture, the ideas, the values, and tenets of a party that was only marginally conservative to begin with. I believe it is time to burn the house and build a new party.
A new conservative party will likely be a minority party for years to come. It will be, however, in a position to gain membership and control when the socialist government ultimately collapses of its own bureaucratic weight. Only then can the ideas of America’s Founding Fathers be put into place and only then can freedom and liberty be restored.

I'm not so sure. The Whig party self destructed and the Republican party was born in less than a decade.

The analogy isn't perfect but it could be the starting point for a new movement. With serious mainstream conservative support it could happen.

As Taft led to Goldwater and Goldwater led to Reagan.
