So are you saying, “these boots are made for walking”?...I’m like most of you....I yearn for someone like Ronald Reagan. I heard this young guy, Pence has what it takes...Anyone know anything about him>?
The GOP just needs to join the Dem party and be done with it. That is whi and where they want to be.
We need a Conservative Party, a party that is what and where WE want to be as conservatives.
The GOP is stuck on stupid. And you can’t fix stupid.
How many times have YOU contacted anyone to counteract the media’s “the voters want Republicans to reach ...” line? During the primaries did you work for anyone or just sit and whine: “No one represents me”?
We could start with the million who stayed home and didn't bother to vote in this election. Virginia went blue because disgusted conservatives didn't have a dog in this race. Then we can go after the millions more who held their noses and voted for McCain or who voted for Palin.
The GOP is permanently damaged. I've been a Republican all my adult life and I'm embarrassed to say that now becasue the people we have running this party are grossly incompetent and completely obsessed with their own perks and power. They're happy being relegate3d to minority status because they get to enjoy their perks and their power without the responsibility of governing as a majority. As far as I'm concerned Republican = Failure and I will no longer be associated with them.
Just trying out my RINO whistle for 2012. /sarc
that is collectivistic mentality.Natural rights, freedom, and private property are possesions of all individuals, and a limited government that recognizes these is acting in the interest of everyone and in accordance with the individualism of the founding fathers, and not just for one group over another.
Amen! RIP!
LOL!
The message is simple, if the GOP wants conservative support it needs to become more conservative. If it doesn't want our support, then it can go to hell.
I did plenty in 2004 and before and got shafted. You just don't get it. A whole lot of conservatives do not believe the Republican party will ever stand by them. You keep right on working within the party if you want to, but do not expect a bailout from conservatives as your party becomes a permanent minority party.
More like a zombie elephant at the moment. It’s dead but doesn’t know it yet. Just staggering around in zombie like fashion wanting to infect anyone it touches to walk dead with it.
Fine, If you want to create a Viable Third Party, you’ll have to go the House and Senate and talk to CONSERVATIVES on both sides of the aisle and find out if they’ll change their affiliation.
They’ll say NO because THE ONES WITH THE MONEY to advertise for them are the Democrat Party and the Republican Party.
My son in law ran as a Libertarian for a House Seat in the Alabama legislature a number of years ago. He got 2700 or 2900 votes out of all the votes cast. Something like 15% or there about. He ran as a Libertarian because HIS COST to have the Party support him was less than the Republican’s (they wanted $5000 from him for their support).
Unless a bunch of people have a bunch of money to organize a third party it is not going to happen. So, my advice is: KwitcherBellyachin’ and get ACTIVE in the Party of your Choice.
That said, sounds as if Obama can start his own political party with his foreign financial investors, ACORN, CAIR, the Chicago Machine and the starry eyed youth (in Brown Shirts).
“Either the Republican Party comes back closer to its roots, or it comes back without my vote or the votes of tens of millions of Americans just like me.”
And me....... No more compromise... no more leftist agenda. I’m a Conservative and I’ll vote only for TRUE Conservatives. If they don’t measure up to my standards too bad, I’m not lowering my standards for any of these jokers.

Please take a look at the Constitution Party. The last two weeks, I bounced around looking for a new party.... then, my wife says, “I support the Constitution Party” Next, two scout leaders during a camp-out talk up the virtues of “The Constitution Party”. Yesterday, I saw my first “I vote Constitution” bumber sticker! The fog and mourning I have had since the election lifted and I felt good walking around SAM’s Club. We all can form up on this new mission. Leave the liberals and “moderates” the stinking dead elephant. Let’s form up to protect the beautiful “U.S. Constitution”. The left (except Barry Obama and “Constitution is a flawed document” and “negative rights”) wouldn’t dare attack it without looking like the socialist/communist they really are. It is a great Brand that represents freedom.
Then, lets flood them with conservative Free Republic blood and form up behind the name and our Constitution. When you were there before, the time wasn’t right. Maybe, it is time now. I am disallusioned with the GOP.
Yeah, maybe so, BUT our guys got invited to some of the A list cocktail parties... /s
“Real Republicans didn’t lose this election “
Who are the “real” Republicans? Even in conservative York County, PA, the party regulars were always more concerned with patronage and pork than conservatism.
“We would have had more influence with McCain than we will ever have with barry. “
We’ve never had any influence with McCain before. What makes you think he would listen to us if he would be President?
I disagree.
If we just leave to join a 3rd party we end up with no voice because the 3rd party will not win enough seats to be effective.
I think the better way is to mold the GOP to our will with our dollars. Do not give any money to the GOP. Give the dollars to a PAC that will only help conservatives, with the clear understanding that when they stop acting like conservatives they stop getting the support and we run a candidate against them in the primaries.
