“...Is electing Republicans over Democrats going, in the aggregate, have a more positive effect on this country than continuing to run third party candidates to split the vote and put Dims into office? Yes....”
We already KNOW where the democrat socialists want and are trying to take us.
Remove their ability. Stop the bleed. Slam the brakes on and the door in their faces, and then HOLD the Republicans responsible for starting the long road back.
If not, there is only one last option, and it is not pretty. That is the reality of where this political class of people have put us.
Personally, I’m sick of the Hobson’s Choice that we have with these two parties. But it is, for now, the reality that we have to deal with. So we need a RINO purge and replacement with people who will drive the party back towards conservative principles and discipline - and HOLD it there.
Sounds simple, I know...
NFHale, I can here the longing in your post. Sadly, I think you’ve come to the conclusion I have.
We all talk real big when it comes to removing the RINOs, and then election time comes around and we return the McCain’s to Washington, D.C.
It just baffles me. If the RP doesn’t have the stone to replace a guy like McCain, we’re all a bunch of idiots if we think removing the RINOs is the solution to our party’s problems.
It’s time for a new party.
There is a real hunger out there. Clear back to Perot, people have been looking for something better, and Perot’s early campaign showed just how quickly that party could take off.
Perhaps it’s starts with a shadow party, co-existing with the Republican party at first. Perhaps it starts with a solid charismatic that has sound principles. Perhaps it has already started with the Tea Party.
One way or another, the Republican party is dead.
What we need right now is an education arm that warns our youth that the Republican party DOES NOT stand for what it says it does. That would be a very good step.
We have the Leftist controlled Democrat party, the Leftist controlled Republican party, and a whole bunch of people who have come to the realization that Saturated Liberalism (democrat), and Grade AA Liberalism (republican) are just about the same thing.
It’s time to break out of that mold, for the rescue of our nation. Otherwise we simply continue to be had and whine about it.
That's where the Tea Parties come in---the people thumbing their noses at Rinos and establishment Repubs---the Repubs who sneered at so/cons, who barely tolerated us in the party, only b/c we brought MANY votes.
As sickoflibs posted: Almost two-thirds of Americans believe the economy will worsen before it gets better, up from 53 percent who felt that way in January, the poll found. Nearly six in 10 of those surveyed said the country is headed in the wrong direction, a percentage that has held steady in NBC/WSJ polling throughout the year.
We got our chance for what progressives call a teachable moment. To teach once again that Obama's Marxism-corporatism does not work. It is failing Democrats as it failed Republicans. Time for a real debate......(might have to shoot the RINOs first).

That is up to US.
