Well, there you go.
Joe - come join the CONSERVATIVE PARTY that Sarah will soon announce she is creating. Then you will be on the winning side in ‘12.
I agree with every word Joe said. But forget a new party. It will lose. Kick out the scum in the GOP, and revive it.
Sounds like a good and honorable man.
Geez! Change “Clark County, Washington” for “Minnesota” and this would fit out SW Washington Republicans to a tee. Our local Republicans are almost non-existent and the one left doesn’t do much to speak of anyway.
This is the typical wording of someone accusing the GOP of be too conservative. It's just one statement in the announcement, but it's leaving a seriously bad taste in my mouth.
[When a political party becomes so dysfunctional that it no longer can operate without tyrannical domination over the grass-roots, it is time to stop enabling bad behavior from that party. I have come to the conclusion that a majority of Minnesotans and many Republicans no longer trust the message of the Minnesota GOP. After years of ineffective party leadership resulting in a record number of defeats, lack of transparency in party dealings, alleged financial impropriety by former party employees, and numerous Federal Election Commission problems, can you really blame the electorate for abandoning the Minnesota GOP?]
The whole GOP should be abandoned by conservatives and has become just another Northeast run liberal elitist feaful and weak liberal like political party and reminds me of the Kadima liberal party of Israel that has abandoned the conservative principles and joined with the leftist communist run communist owned labor party, in America known as the democrat party or the jackass party.

The good news is that we will see who the true conservatives are as well as the RINOS, all out in the open for all to see. That is a good place to start.

Same in Maine. The GOP here is a rich boys insider club, run by Cohen, McKernan & Co.
because any organization that could not find a way to beat Al Franken does not deserve your support
It is apparently a microcosm of the national party. Before, during, and after Reagan, the GOP was dominated by beltway boys and big government "moderates." Reagan was a dynamic, grassroots abherration. He was so successful and well-loved that for the next 2 decades the GOP moderates would try to wrap themselves in his conservative label.
But when we consider who Reagan's own VP was, and the GOP's next 3 POTUS candidates, we realize who really has always dominated the party. Look how quickly Gingrich's "conservative revolution" in Congress returned to form. Jeb Bush was correct when recently he said it was time for the party to forget Reagan-- he knew that was always a smokescreen for the benighted conservative minority. Wearing the "conservative" label is no longer a convenient ruse for the GOP, and it's once again admitting it's true nature.
Real conservatives are an impotent minority in the GOP. It uses them like useful idiots to pull the lever for "the lesser of two evils" candidates like Bush, McCain, and soon-to-be, Romney. We've been vocal but we can't change the majority.
And now the mask is off. The GOP is no place for conservatives. I intend to vote only principles from now on. I've finally realized that voting for the lesser of two evils is still voting for evil.

I doubt that I will ever find a political party that holds to all my political views, for I doubt that such a party could ever be elected. I also try to be realistic about things. This is a two party country. If you have two parties running against the dems, it will only insure that the dems will win.
A better suggestion would be to change the leadership in the GOP. Frankly, I don't believe that the current system is fixable. Neither party is worth saving. The political system and the MSM are broken beyond repair.
Quibble time. At the end of the article it says he served in Operation Iraqi Freedom. If he retired in 1998, then he cannot have served in OIF since it didn’t start until 2003. Also, I don’t know if a LtCOL (O-5) by law can serve for 30 years. Only an O-6 (or above obviously) can serve for that long. There may be some special circumstances, but usually O-5’s cannot go beyond 26 years. Was he National Guard? Anyway, it calls into question his credentials.
Interesting.
I didn’t realize Minnesota even HAD a Republican Party!
(and I live here...)
1. Ditch the loser, boutique, vanity, designer, can’t draw more than 1% of the electorate candidates.
2. Control the purse, control the party.
3. 3 issues and 3 issues only.
I’ve long thought that Kline, and not Pawlenty, was the real model Republican from Minnesota.
