Totally agree with you on all points.
I think all of us should become more active in the Tea Party. The GOP has become worse than useless. Under its current leadership, it has become an IMPEDIMENT.
I think the time for an active principled third party is here.
If they couldn’t beat a guy with a record like Obama, they can’t beat anybody. The fact that the RINO leadership maneuvered a flip-flopping loser like Romney into the Party’s Primary choice DESPITE the opposition of the majority of rank and file GOP voters, the fact that it comes out later he didn’t even WANT the slot, the fact that he ran such a PATHETIC campaign in the most important election in history, shows they are ready for the garbage dump.
EVEN MORE, despite the fact that Obama’s “victory” was HARDLY a blow-out, the GOP leadership in the House and Senate has demonstrated they are willing to roll over and play dead to accommodate him on Obamacare and the tax situation, even though they CONTROL the House, demonstrates their problems go far beyond just a presidential election.
I’m a card carrying Republican and have been since Reagan ran in his first primary and I watched Barry Goldwater get nominated. I always have voted Republican regardless. NO MORE. I will NEVER vote for a RINO again - EVER. I will NEVER contribute to the GOP as a political party again EVER. If the Tea Party or a viable conservative alternative comes along, I will register and vote in that party in the future.
The GOP still has a lot of good solid conservatives - Rubio comes to mind, that new black Senator from South Carolina, Bachmann, etc. I WILL contribute to their campaigns INDIVIDUALLY. But to the political party of Romney, Reince Pribus, Carl Rove, Juan McCain, Lidnsey Graham, etc. NEVER AGAIN.
We need a viable third party which represents conservatives. Republicans no longer do - if the ever did. That party can and should run its own candidate whenever the GOP runs a RINO and do everything to get the RINO defeated regardless. If the GOP has a moment of sanity and runs a conservative, then that party should endorse and support him/her.
But this situation has gone on for far too long with the GOP. To some degree or the other, the Democrat Party does a really good job representing the interests of the anti-American, anti-Constitutional, far left radicals who represent most of their membership.
Its not too much to expect that the party who presents themselves as their opposition do the same thing for us.
Agree with you totally.
I just changed my registration to in affiliated from Republican.
I can no longer stomach having them play Lucy holding the football for me. Been burned too many times in the last twenty years.
Obama was such a clear and present danger, yet the GOP gave us McCain and Romney to oppose him, neither of which had the fire in the belly needed to save this country from Marxists.
We need a third party that we can get behind and promote our values, which are the values that made this country and which are the only answer to save it.
Watch the GOP cave on the bogus fiscal cliff and the debt ceiling. And do we really think they will fight for the Second Amendment unless we shove a steel rod up their spines?
Why does anyone expect we as conservatives will continue to support such a party?
