>> You are a bunch of chicken (manure), whiney assed, quitter babies

I understand the thrust of your point, but alienating the principled conservatives isn’t going help.

I agree the Republican Party should be salvaged and the RINOs punted through elections/attrition. And I believe this can happen at the grass roots but it requires active participation from the regular folks not normally inclined to get involved. It also requires involvement from the so-called “quitter babies”.

Before getting too frustrated with those that fully reject the GOP, understand their frustration with the decades of deceit the GOP has inflicted on the constituents.

Currently, there are 18 GOP seats in the House that may deservedly go Democrat.

The principled conservatives appear to be alienated already. Maybe I was a bit harsh, but the intent was a good shaming.

I’m 50 years old and have experienced a lot of disappointment from the GOP, peaking in 1992 and 1996 when I voted Libertarian, and thought about it again in 2012 after Tampa and what happened at the Georgia state convention that year. When I was 15, I was 100 yards from my house and Lamar Alexander lied to my face while I was wearing a Boy Scout uniform. Believe me, I understand the frustration, I understand the alienation.

A third party is a pipe dream. The Democrat party is beyond salvageable. The people in charge of today’s GOP used to be Democrats, at least in the South. I say they should experience ejection from a second party’s power structure. A true alternative, a Conservative party is the only hope, and making one out of the GOP is the only way.

So are you in or out?
