Rush was wailing about this 3rd party movement and saying what a mistake it was. He was almost pleading for conservatives to not abandon the GOP. I have no qualms about abandoning the GOP, I will not throw a half hearted vote for a McCain, I will vote my principles results be damned.

results be damned.

Then you should be perfectly sublime over the results we're having now on DeathCare?

Rush is right. You will gain nothing from a 3rd party except more consolidated Democrat control of all three branches of the Federal Government and state government as well.

Is that really what you want?

It’s up to the GOP to embrace the TP and us conservatives.

The sermonizing from the old guard is starting unusually early this time around, I think.

What's needed is an independent conservative organization that is intensely focused on the primaries.

Look at the Dems -- they have MoveOn.org, ACORN, the Kos kids, etc, etc, who are intensely focused on making hard-line Leftists be the Dem candidates, and making sure that the DNC knows that their funding and activism support is dependent on keeping these groups happy.

The way to gain control of the Rep party is to make support independent of the RNC, and focus it exclusively on conservative candidates.

Rush is wrong about many things, this is one of them, he'll probably come out and endorse Hillary again today.

What is really needed is for all the third party voters who jumped ship for the Libertarians and the Constitution Parties to come back to the GOP and help foment revolution. Take the party BACK from the neo-con RINOs and re-establish the original Reagan Revolution under the young lions now surging. Sarah Palin, Bobby Jindal and even Ron Paul (adding a crazy old Lobo never hurts) could lead this party and the nation back to prosperity instead of where we stand on the brink of utter ruination and destruction.
