Those are good sources, and they show a lot of what I am talking about. But there are other names, much less discussed because they keep behind the scenes and are far less visible.
I am trying to find a link that I had to the top contributors of both parties. A lot of them are very familiar. Soros, Rockefeller, Kennedy, etc. But there are several other names with deep ties and strong but silent influence in both parties.
Affirmative Action and wage and price controls were also Nixon Administration policies. He was the most left-wing President in our history, until Ogabe.

Richard Viguerie is dead on. I don't care if you are a Republican. I care that you are a Conservative. One cannot be a Republican more than a Conservative, or one is merely a Republican.
Republicans, who have lose well past half of their membership, do not deserve the mantle of Reagan Conservatism. If they do not SUBMIT to the Tea Partiers, they will cease to be a party. Mark my words.
Hmmm. Are you thinking of the donor’s list that showed all large contributors by individual name(s) to every campaign in ‘08? I had one of those listings bookmarked, but when I went to access it recently, the url was no good.
Very good article and a very, very good thread. Thanks for the background information/education on Viguerie. Thanks to all posters.
Submit to the Tea Parties? How about EMBRACE?
I am NOT interested in REHAB FOR INCUMBENTS.
There's a revitalization taking place, but it's not for another National Third party. Nationwide, there's already several so-called "third parties," and that's RV's aim, just as it's always been.
Hi PGalt! Good to see you!
Third parties , we have been told, always assure victory for the opposition, an unintended consequence. Third parties have never had enough strength to win in total. The Tea party movement is different and is growing stronger because it is rapidly becoming clear that the established parties, in trying to keep their priviledged positions, are letting stealth marxists, statists, and one worlders destroy the Republic! The only chance America has lies with the true Patriots We the People
No, I mean submit.
There's a revitalization taking place, but it's not for another National Third party.
There is a chance at revitalization. If the Republicans don't heed the warning, they will be run over by a freight train, and will be on the ash heap of history.
Conservatism is at stake. Republicanism is dispensable.
Nationwide, there's already several so-called "third parties," and that's RV's aim, just as it's always been.
And he is correct. This is no longer a threat. This is action after the threats of 2004-2008. It isn't that Conservatives will leave the Republicans... They already have.
You walk into the room
With your pencil in your hand
You see somebody naked
And you say, “Who is that man?”
You try so hard
But you don’t understand
Just what you’ll say
When you get home
Because something is happening here
But you don’t know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?
You raise up your head
And you ask, “Is this where it is?”
And somebody points to you and says
“It’s his”
And you say, “What’s mine?”
And somebody else says, “Where what is?”
And you say, “Oh my God
Am I here all alone?”
Because something is happening here
But you don’t know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?
Hey RNC, the ball is in your court!
true....the GOP/RNC elites dont have a clue....they havent listened to the base in years.
You can speak only for yourself, and I can speak only for myself. You do not speak for conservatives, any more than I speak for conservatives. That said, you may have already left the Republican party, but I am not a registered member of any party although I am registered to vote and I vote in every election.
Your claim that “Conservatism is at stake” is folly. Where have you been? Conservatism has never been more energetic and popular since the days of Ronald Reagan. Conseratives are currently found in both Houses of Congress and they’re all Republicans. Imagine *that*!
Conservatives have a grand chance to nominate and replace lifelong incumbents in Republican primaries. JD Hayworth is mulling a campaign to challenge McCain in Arizona and McCain already has one or two challengers.
Your dream of a viable conservative national third party with respect to the presidential election is as silly today as it’s always been, even with a back-channeled financing by George Soros.
Please don’t try to lecture me about fulfilling “the threats of ‘04 and ‘08” -— conservatives voted in both elections. Conservatives NEVER help democrats win.
As I recall he was, like Strom Thurmond, a John Connally booster in 1980.
Republican “leaders”?
You mean like Juan McLame? Newt Gingrich? and that boy with the pretty hairdo the Morman fella?
These aren’t leaders, they are horse crap RINO’s
Hell Gingrich has simply become a camera whore.
Only one real conservative I’m interested in and that b
SARA CUDA.
Ah, the Stupid Party got its name the old-fashioned way, it earned it.
They don’t understand and think you must send them money because you is no alternative
By loudly and vociferously destroying the morale of RNC telephone solicitors, by returning each of the weekly RNC mail solicitation envelopes marked with a bold red Sharpie “Gone to a Tea Party” A message can be delivered.
