Screw that. We must take ownership of the GOP, and stop disbanding especially after 2010.

We should all ask ourselves, "Which will be easier to win? A three-party race...or a Republican primary?"

Forming a third party is like raising taxes on the rich. All you've accomplished is punishing the Republican party.

Ah. “Winning”. Got it.

Just register as a Dem and vote. You will “Win” without any thinking or principle/belief required.

Some of us prefer to ‘win’ what we believe in. Not ‘win’ to empower that which we abhor. But you do as you see fit.

I agree. We need another 2010 turnout with better Senate options. The entire House is up in 2014 as are a boatload of Senate seats. Republican communities across the Country should withdraw from the GOP establishment and flip the local structures. There are a lot of dirtbags impregnated at various levels in the hierarchy that need to go.

“Forming a third party is like raising taxes on the rich. All you’ve accomplished is punishing the Republican party.”

Apples and oranges. By comparing the GOPe—people who have sold their soul— to people who have worked very hard to be successful (i.e., rich), you are insulting the rich.

How much longer are we willing to sit here supporting the GOPe? (i.e., rewarding bad behavior; being a willing victim of an abusive spouse; ‘enabling’ a hopeless addict by making excuses)

Until the next primary season? The next Presidential election? The next decade? How long? When will they change and start listening to us?

Another question I’ve asked myself: What would The Marxists fear the most? A nationwide Conservative Movement that had people leaving the GOPe by the millions to follow the Constitution? Or a nationwide Please-Listen-To-Us! Movement within the GOPe that’s repeatedly and continuously controlled by Beohner, et al?

I submit that it’s the former, not the latter. It’s a dangerous game the Marxists are playing. They have only 4 years to transform our Republic into a totalitarian nation, and they must do it by quietly controlling the GOPe enough to make them compliant with the changes, but not overtly enough to wake up the millions of Conservatives who could spoil their plans.

Having said all that, I’m not naive enough to think a Conservative Revolt could take back our country unless the current Conservative members of Congress pulled a ‘Demint-like’ action. Not resign, but something equally as significant such as register as Independents. Something that would motivate the millions of frustrated Conservatives to rally behind them. There would be strength in numbers—that’s the only way anything would change from the status quo.

And since that will never happen, here we are again back on the fencepost in Bakersfield, patiently waiting....
