The important thing here is that the GOP needs to realize that with a RINOectomy, they are the Tea Party.

If republicans are willing to swallow their pride, and their core ideology and join us we could have a winning coalition. The third party in this country are the Republicans. They are the spoilers.

GOP should get rid of those so called “bipartisan centrists/moderates” who always seem to find some far-left cause to advance (cap&trade, campaign finance reform etc).

It gets even worse:
73% of Republican voters believe their leaders in Washington are out of touch with the party base.

THAT is remarkable. A movement getting almost zero positive coverage in the major press has passed up a 150 year old major party. The GOP needs to wake up and quickly, because the table is set for the GOP to retake the lead nationally over a radical left wing democrat party. Add GOP + Tea Party and there is a significant majority.

Indeed. It’s not like they weren’t told what to think.

Conservatives are a feisty bunch very independent and they are quick to identify with the tea party and to send the GOP a message.
However, the poll also shows that splitting off as a third party puts democrats in power. So let’s not get too cocky.

I guess you, along with the rest of the Gutless Old Party, learned nothing from Jim Jeffords, Arlen “Scottish Law” Specter and Juan McAmnesty.
