Dear “Conservatives” and “Establishment Republicans,”
I write today in the hope you all can get over whatever anger, distrust or bruised egos this primary season and political year has caused you. We on the right need to unite and send a message to progressives by unambiguously retaking the U.S. Senate in November.
We all have some problem with what’s happened so far. Someone we liked lost a primary. Someone we didn’t won. Some piece of legislation we hate passed; some other piece we liked did not. No one is completely happy, but we all know things can get much worse – and will if we don’t put aside what divides and do what we must for the cause of liberty.
The political right has a habit of letting the perfect be the enemy of the good. This is exemplified by libertarians, and it’s the fast track to political irrelevancy.
Libertarians will hate that I’ve placed them on the right of the political spectrum, and indeed many of today’s libertarians indeed have no political home and are all over the map. Today, the term covers everything from the great Reason Magazine to big-government, socialized medicine-loving Bill Maher. The present day “libertarian” label can mean anything, so it means nothing.
But I’m not talking about those libertarians. I’m talking about the Ron Paul libertarians who were quite comfortable in a Republican Party with which they agreed on a majority of issues.
Back then, libertarians put aside their differences with conservatives and Republicans to work for the defeat of liberals and progressives. All three groups thrived, as did the nation. But now too many focus on the disagreements, the differences, and the scars that come with fighting for what we believe, win or lose.
Both sides have scars, but too many of us...

Both of your posts are rational, unfortunately some can’t see the forest for the trees and insist on cutting off their - and our noses — to spite their face.
Many are justifying their attitude by trying to make a FALSE equivalence between Obama and his communist supporters and the GOP, which may not be perfect, but the GOP is not actively working to destroy the US, as Obama and his supporters are.
Over and over again, the rape victim is asked to comply with the rapist. At list that is how it appears to conservatives who are repeatedly maligned by the GOP Rino establishment.
“courtesy of the Democrats and their enablers in the GOP”
Actually those who don’t vote against the Dems by supporting the GOP are the ones who are enabling and giving power to the Dems. I presume you are happy that Obama got elected twice because many conservatives stayed home.
That is the future of your strategy
++++
Probably so.
Suggest an alternative that is faster and will succeed. All I see on this thread is endless complaining and a commitment to not voting for RINOs in order to teach the GOPe a “lesson”.
That is surrender. That is not a strategy.
Show us your strategy. Show us how it works. Show us how it reverses our march to a Marxist America.
Giving Mitch power will not end Marxist America. That is the simple point. Stop with the straw men.
Dear Mr. Hunter,
GFY.
Sincerely,

And for you who would choose the lesser of two evils, may you receive full measure of the evil you’ve selected.
I am personally convinced that the GOPe must be totally destroyed- Boehner, McConnell, Cornyn, Ayotte, etc. And people like Cruz, Palin, Gowdy, Gohmert be given the reins. That is our only salvation, not suicide.
As a whole, I just no longer see the GOP reflecting my values nor my ideological leanings. The past few years of seeing the leadership caving on things like spending and funding Obamacare, pushing amnesty, and running like cowardly rabbits from social issues like fag-marriage, coupled with attacks on the tea party (and the vile backstabbing of Palin before that), the Republican Party appears far more of an enemy to my beliefs than an ally. Just like their brothers-in-arms, the Dems.
I supported and voted exclusively for the GOP my entire adult life, but I now feel zero connection to what the Party now is. I still plan to vote in 2014, for two or three tea-party candidates that will be on my ballot, but the vast majority of races I’ll leave blank, just like I did in 2012. The Republican Party lost me and my family. Totally and thoroughly, severing lifelong ties.
And a Merry Christmas to you too.
First we must destroy the GOP. Then we can retake the nation.
Boy, you really stepped in it turkey.
My strategy works off fundamentals. First we need to understand that the corporate agenda was woven into the Constitution from before the ink was dry (here). Then we need to understand how our government was federalized as one stop shopping for said financial interests (here). Then we need to understand how the resulting corrupt tax-exempt "charitable" foundation/academic/bureaucratic troika works (here). Then we have to have a strategy to undermine that system using its own claim for purpose here). While you're at it, you can understand the 16th Century origins of the perspective whence those claims arose (here). And of course you have to show how we can do it all better here.
Then there is how to undo the current system of indoctrination (here). We also need to develop a counterstategy for what to do if this all collapses (here).
Find me one other individual, anywhere, who has addressed all that to such a degree. So, I put up, and have for the last 17 years.
The GOPe IS actively working to destroy the Tea Party, and Conservatives- Have you forgotten Sarah Palin?
Let us surrender at once, and avoid the defeat which surely awaits us. Our founding, our liberty, our principles have become unpopular. Obviously our God cannot carry us through another liberal on the supreme court. Don’t let the truth become the enemy of comfortable lies. We must submit in abjectness to our elite masters at once or all is lost. Sarcasm tag unnecessary. You make me want to puke.
First, destroy the GOP.
Then we can figure out how to defeat the communists with what's left.
Every single Republican in the Senate voted against Obamacare. Every single hated GOPe Senator voted against Obamacare. Every single Dem voted for Obamacare.
Electing more Dems is not the answer. I'm still waiting for a viable alternative and a plan that is short of armed revolution.
I concur. The GOP is SUPPOSED to be conservative, yet the leadership is complicit with the progressives, because they are progressives. They have no place in the GOP if the GOP is to remain relevant.
If only the GOP was different than the donkeys.
