I think you may be missing the point.
We would assume control of the infrastructure of the party and the name. These things do not have an agenda nor do they have an opinion, they are simply tools to achieve a goal. The PEOPLE, you despise and that have been controlling the infrastructure of this political party are the RINOs and will be purged. Once they have been removed the infrastructure, name, etc of the party can be used to achieve OUR agenda and OUR goals, elect OUR people...
Its easy to direct anger at a political party in general, but as with anything else, its the PEOPLE who define the party. Change the people, you change the party and its agenda... Dont waste time being mad at a name, building, office, desk or stapler... These are simply part of the infrastructure that can be used by whoever happens to be in control of the party.
What we are talking about IS building a new party... out of the skeleton of one of the two major parties. This is the coup that will either change the direction of this nation or be the foundation of a new one.
Be happy! We will be taking the fight DIRECTLY to the RINOs and ruining their carriers and in some cases, their personal lives. And THAT, my friend, is some damn fine payback to get on the way to owning a political party.
Ok... Maybe I am missing the point. I am a Christian Conservative and as such both titles "Christian" and "Conservative" dictate that one cannot sew new cloth into an old garment. We don't put new wine into an old wineskin.
You and those like you are trying to convince Conservatives that there is something to save in the Republican Party. There isn't anything that can be saved. The party is diseased. The only thing that separates it from the liberals in the democrat party is the name "Republican."
I'M a CONSERVATIVE. I am NOT a "Republican" any more. Those like Rush, Hannity, and others are telling us that if we start a new party that we will in essence be giving the next election to the democrats. Well news flash. We "CONSERVATIVES" cannot win so long as everyone keeps wanting to call themselves either "Republican" or "Democrat."
I am of the belief that MOST (more than 75%) of the citizens of the United States are "CONSERVATIVES". The problem is the "Parties" have kept us divided with trivialities and in so doing have basically ushered in what is sure to be the gravest time in not only US but World history as a whole.
Unless the Conservative American people repent for the fear of being labeled a "CONSERVATIVE" and unite under one umbrella of "Conservatism" and get rid of the illegal alien that has hijacked our White House you can count the days until this world as we know it is over.
The foundation of the "Republican Party" is broken. The party needs to be bulldozed and completely rebuilt. People that are "Conservatives" are not afraid of being called "Conservatives" regardless their party affiliation but Liberals all want to be called "Moderates." ***k moderates and the horse they rode in on. All moderates are are fence riders. They balance on the fence hoping that should they fall off they won't get hit by the trucks on whichever side of the fence it is they land on.
They are wishy washy, mealy mouthed weasels that would sell their own mother if they thought they could make friends and influence people.
There is no room for "MODERATES" in the "CONSERVATIVE" party nor are "MODERATES" welcome in what would be a party that called itself the "LIBERAL" party but alas here in is the issue. People have been conditioned into believing that Republicans are "Conservatives" and Democrats are "MODERATES" when in reality there is NO DIFFERENCE between the two parties and you think we can change that?
Sorry. I disagree. We cannot. Until we are open and honest enough to call a spade a spade we are always going to have a way for "RINO" like operatives to slip in unawares and like wolves in sheep's clothing they will seek whom they can devoure.
People like Rush, Hannity, you and others seem to be trying to protect a name. Forget the name. Get over the issues you have calling a lie a lie. Which brings me to a side note. Why is it considered rude to call a liar a liar? I don't get it.
Anyway, if you are going to give me a title you can call me a "Conservative" and if the word doesn't burn your tongue feel free to call me a "Christian" but don't ever call me a Republican. I've left that party the same way I left the nasty habits of smoking and drinking and.... I am now a man of character. My word is my bond and I only want to be surrounded by like-minded people.
Let me part with a little analogy. If my computer crashes or becomes obsolete I throw it away and buy a new one. I don't waste my time and hard earned money trying to make a silk purse out of a sows ear. I'm not interested in having some archaic piece of crap cluttering up my desk and slowing down progress.
The Republican party is no longer worth the time and effort, in my opinion, of trying to save.
