I definitely agree that social corporatists have their hands around the throat of the GOP.

The only choices I see for a patriotic conservative is to either start a new party or take over an old one.

I had the dambdest time trying to explain the difference to my Canadian friend the difference between Crony-Capitalism and Capitalism..

I even told him to google the owners of the corporations of who he said was destroying USA, and the rest of the world... I promised him that the owners were NOT only NON=CONSERVATIVES, but also would be listed on the DEMOCRATIC party....

He backed off a little.. (not much though)

Right now, the prospects of taking over an old one (The GOP) are looking bleaker and bleaker. They've gone from being quite about their disdain for us conservatives to being blatantly, obnoxiously, public about it. They are doubling down on their moderate and liberal positions on the issues.

If you mean the Constitution Party or the American Independent Party, then yes, I think it can be done quite easily and I believe they would welcome the infusion of new members with a fighting spirit.

The GOP is on it's last gasp, they will be dead soon as a viable party to take on the DEMS and they refuse to acknowledge the base or listen to the base.

It's time to rebuild.
