The reason parties drift from core values is the “true believers” don't want to get off their asses and do the hard dirty work of running a party day to day. So they sit on their asses and whine non stop about how impure and imperfect the parties are.

The solution is not to sit around fantasizing about some magic 3rd party, that OTHER people will have to create for you, but get off your ass and get in the trenches. Past time to take the party of Reagan/Goldwater BACK from the apparatchiks that have hijacked it.

How convenient for you to deflect attention from the root of the problem by attacking anyone who has a dissenting point of view from you. That's the same Saul Alinsky tactics the RATs have been using and are using now against those who oppose a ground zero mosque. Twenty five years of so called dirty work in the OP(formerly the GOP) obviously hasn't worked. Common sense dictates it would be far more effective to direct the "dirty work" as you describe in a party whose foundation is based on Conservative values. There will be far less infighting compared to the OP(formerly the GOP) and far more time advancing the Conservative cause against the opposition.

That same loser mentality has failed for at least the last 25 years. Go around the brick wall instead of trying to continually pound threw it with your head.

There is clearly a major disconnect with people who keep referring to a third party. You can only have a third party if there is already in place a two party system. We have a one party system. Uniting under a Conservative party will restore the two party system.
