I love that you’re still holding on to the GOP. I understand Reagan’s commandment, but I’m sick and tired of this party and I think the time has come for the conservatives to just up and leave. I’m there. I feel no shame or embarassment about Ensign because I’m no longer a Republican and feel not one whit of loyalty to the GOP.
Until there’s a viable political apparatus elsewhere we can use, we have no choice but to use the GOP as the vehicle for the Conservative movement. Remember, even if we were to create a new party tomorrow, let’s say, the “New Federalist Party”, it wouldn’t take long before we’d have the same problems erupt with a statist establishment t. Think of it as having to clean up a room stocked with junk every so often. If you don’t do it, it’s all gonna come crashing down on you. Running away won’t fix the problem. Eternal vigilance will.
Could not agree more.
