IMO they can no longer blame the voters for not voting for their candidate if they foist another “It's his turn” old geezer on us.
If they cannot incorporate more conservative and tea party principles (most of which USED to be in their platforms) in their org they will have to take the blame when hordes of voters stay home and not vote.
And if they don't get on the ball to fight voter fraud, ACORN and the like plus the illegal alien criminal insurgent colonist vote they it's their election to lose.
Add to that the absolutely insane policy of letting anyone vote in their primaries, it's almost like they are McCaining out and giving the election to Obama again like old John did last election cycle.
They are begging for a 3 party system, with them being the third party.
Why should anyone vote for their old tired candidates if they won't get up and fight for what is right for this nation?
Agreed. I’m there too.
I think there are more conservatives than moderates in the party. If we reformed our party’s primary system, we wouldn’t have to resort to a third party because we’d have the numbers to select a conservative candidate.
The problem is that most of us vote but don’t get involved in Republican Party caucuses and local party business. That’s where we have to propose changes to the party’s platform. Then we have to follow through by serving as party representatives and/or delegates to vote at the state and national levels where the platform is voted upon. If we don’t get involved, it’s our own fault if the platform doesn’t represent our values and wishes anymore. I learned that in 2008. We have to get involved; Donating money and showing up to vote on election day is no longer enough to secure a voice.
