Last year, I was furious with any libertarians, conservatives, or even moderates that refused to vote or voted third party due to their disgust with the GOP... last year, facing the election of a nutty, low-intellect Marxist, was not the time to entertain a third party.
Today, it is high time. Rush - a faux conservative who tried to foist the likes of Mitt Romney on conservatives - is in no position to warn us. He isn't keeping this conservative on the plantation. No way, no how, no more. No more betrayals.
A third party will ensure even more that 0bama wins reelection, even while a true conservative like Sarah Palin could take out 0bama.
“The GOP is a national party, but it is certainly no longer a conservative party. “
So vote for conservatives in the Republican primaries in 2010. In the present climate with angry voters against government waste, truly conservative candidates are going to end up winning a lot f the Republican primaries.
The GOP was never a conservative party as people here would like to understand it.
US political parties have always been ideological coalitions. This is necessarily so because we do not have a parliamentary system.
Ideological purity, or even consistency, is an absurd demand. It is rather a petulant whim, a denial of reality.
