Looks like krauty is back on the Neo Con bandwagon. Anybody who opposes ten year wars costing over a trillion dollars is an irresponsible isolationist.
I am all for a big roundhouse fight, now.
Don’t wait Tea Party.
Take on the GOP and take it on now. Do not wait. Stop hesitating and bring it on.
I am tired of waiting. We need an alternative.
Right. Now.
Can’t make an omlette without breaking eggs. We intend to keep fracturing it till it till all the moderates actually become the democrats that they are or are removed from power.
Arlen Specter, Charlie Crist, Lincoln Chafee, Jim Jeffords, John Huntsmen and Lisa Murkowski have led the way. Let’s help the rest out the door!
Dr. K and others want to make this a fight over the GOP. It’s pretty obvious that unless and until conservatives control the money and leadership of the GOP, that is a futile exercise. We have already lost that battle.
The good news is - it’s the wrong battle.
What is needed is a new Conservative Party. Stop the dilly-dallying about how long it will take for a 3rd party to reach critical mass, etc and DO IT. Sheldon Adleson alone poured over $50 million into a candidate (Gingrich) who had zero chance of winning the GOP nomination. If nothing else, a new Conservative Party would be a better investment.
We will never know until it is tried. And as Rush often points out, Conservatism works every time it is tried.
Hmmmm, whose side should we take?
See the thing of it the majority of the GOP which is represented by Conservatives and right leaning independents is not fractured. The fracture begins in with the Washington political class which doesn’t seem to understand that we want them to take the GOP platform seriously. That we want them to take limited government seriously, that we want them to take the need for strong families seriously as a precondition of limited government, that we want them to take the constitution seriously, and that we want them to take liberty seriously. However the DC political, media, and consultant class think they can do lip service to these things all the while playing passive protector for what is ultimately a liberal progressive agenda.
They will not work to really defund Obamacare which is something that is truly bipartisan with increasing majorities of citizens strongly opposed to the bill but will invest all the top line party resources to push through an immigration bill that is critically flawed and drafted by liberals like Chuck Schumer to primarily benefit people who can’t even vote while admittedly hurting employment of the working poor and middle class.
2014 will be make or break for the Rino’s as well as the Tea Party...there has been a lot of squabbling over a third party, as I see it the Tea Party is a third party, so again 2014 is make or brake for both.
I believe an engaged citizen Tea Party can restore and renew the Republican party, to destroy and replace the Republican Party would be a long hard row to hoe.
GOP schism bump for later.....
Charles, how has it been working out for us?
I'll side with those ready for a different approach.
