I think its time for a Conservative party.
The Tea Party has attracted many Libertarians and a Libertarian is and never will be a Conservative.
It makes more sense to me to let the GOP and the Libertarians and the Tea Party have the GOP and the Conservatives form their own party.
the Conservatives form their own party.
Let me know when you can find and organize a dozen “conservatives” to attend a county board meeting to oppose something...anything.
Until conservatives can show enough organizational skills and drive to take back their neighborhood town councils and schoolboards, the idea of organizing a national conservative movement is absurd.
