The deck is stacked against any change in the GOP. They GOPe makes the rules and controls the levers of power. As much as I hate the thought of a new party, it’s the only viable option and the country will pay for it, but at this point the GOP isn’t worth saving.
The likes of Palin, Cruz, Tommey, Lee, Paul, and DeMint have to walk out very openly and loudly and soon to form a new party and call for open revolt in the GOP and it’s death as a viable political party. It has to be a massive walkout and at the same time to cause the maximum damage and carnage to the GOPe.
I agree. The only way to get rid of the class of political hacks and consultants (eg, Rove and his ilk) that are frittering away monetary and political capital is to set up an alternative and start winning elections.
The problem with the LP is that they’d rather be a debate society than a political party. Winning races in politics is about a lot more than winning debates and holding forth at great length in speeches.
