The Whigs lost because they stood for nothing.
You do not understand history.
Yes we have some human beings in our Party who make human mistakes.
I suggest you follow your own tag line and try to be more “positive”.
“The Whigs lost because they stood for nothing.”
Near as I can tell, the GOP-e doesn’t really stand for anything either. OTOH, a third party comprised of Tea Partiers, social conservatives and libertarians would be DOA as the system is stacked heavily in favor of the two major parties in this country, so our best shot probably IS to gut the GOP-e and rebuild it.
