There are only two viable political parties in America and we are unfortunately stuck trying to operate inside the Repukes party.
It worked as we ran up to 1980, and it did in part because we built better bridges to disaffected Dems than any of the establishment Repukes ever could have.
If the tea party patriots have the stomach for it, they could try the same thing—go get the disaffected Dems and maybe double their own numbers...and just steamroll the Republican party when the time comes.
But you need a leader, and that person is Sarah Palin and only Sarah Palin. She’s the only one with the stones for the job, and she’s the one who can win. The others either don’t have the name recognition, have no balls, aren’t conservative or just have no sizzle.
Start with Palin, then go for the Dem women who might naturally gravitate her way. Then look for those “bitter clingers” who are still voting Dem for some reason. Then, go for rank and file who are hearing more and more about how their union leadership are shafting them and pissing away their dues and pension money on leftie causes. After that, try the Jews—if they aren’t ready to elect a bona fide Zionist president....
It’s there. It can be done. Hell, it was in 1980. We took that party over back then and we can do it again.
Palin is a McCain Republican. Pro-choice for states on abortion. A judicial supremacist. Soft on amnesty. Soft on the teachers’ unions. I don’t trust her any more than I trust Armey. More of the same. No thanks.
Oh, she also supported TARP and the other bailouts, and the Law of the Sea Treaty, which is a huge transfer of power to the UN, giving them taxing authority for the first time, and control over the vast majority of the earth’s surface.
How does that represent the spirit of the Tea Parties?
