When one speaks with fellow Republicans about the future of the GOP, it is common to receive some negative feedback. This is because many conservative/libertarian Republicans feel the party has simply not done enough to challenge the Obama agenda. There is a widespread feeling among the rank and file that the country is hurtling toward socialism while Republican leaders sit on the sidelines and either do nothing or propose ways to manage socialism more effectively.

I have given up on the GOP and am simply not sure it can ever be reformed.

For a Third Party to be effective, millions of voters need to join it, become active, recruit others and support its candidates. Moreover, millions of dollars would need to be raised to market the party and fight for ballot access changes. I propose that a website be set up that collects pledges. By that, I mean a person would log on, register themselves, and then electronically sign a pledge that commits him or her to vote for a Third Party when the party officially launches. Of course, such a pledge cannot be legally binding, but I doubt most voters would go through the process of registering themselves online unless they were serious. Of course, there would be some fraud, but that would be factored in when determining how much support the new party has.
The when part is the key to this effort. When the number of pledges reaches, say, twenty million voters nationwide, only then does the party launch and actually field candidates. The same kind of tactic could be used to raise money for the new party. When contribution pledges reaches, say, $50 million dollars, the party launches. No more feeble third parties that get 1% of the vote.

No, of course not, but the voters who keep electing them don't mind. That's what I say that we won't replace RINOs with Conservatives until we win Americans over to Conservative values.
Now spare me all of your insults and explain why that is wrong.
No it isn't just you. As I pointed out earlier, I avoid patronizing companies that promote the leftist agenda to the best of my ability, and I suggest others do the same.
Now spare me all of your insults and explain why that is wrong.
No insult was given. You claim the reason for Cochran “winning” the Mississippi primary was -
“One candidate got more votes then the other?”
You seemed to have dismissed the election fraud. You seemed oblivious to the fact that the democrats who voted for Cochran in the primary won’t do the same in the General. Cocran has a snowball’s chance in Hell at reelection.
OK, how much of a factor was that?
You seemed oblivious to the fact that the democrats who voted for Cochran in the primary wont do the same in the General.
Not at all. You seem to miss the point that if Conservative voters make up as much of the voting block as you seem to think they do, they would vote for Conservatives. Instead, they vote for RINOs and Democrats.
To clarify, instead, the electorate votes for RINOs and Democrats.
I love Ted and Trey.
I want Ted to be our next President.
My point is that “stay at home teach ‘em a lesson” tactics are a poor substitute for getting off of our collective butts, getting active at the precinct and county levels, and firing the GOPe from the ground up!
We accomplish NOTHING positive, by allowing Dems to attain and retain power at any level.
The marxists didn’t come to power over night, and neither will the Tea Party.
What I was referring to is the fact that apparently I'm alone in my call for creating conservative/patriotic pop culture. I'd sure like some help, but the best I can manage, even on a conservative bastion like FReep, is passing agreement here and there. Conservatives still seem to think rock n' roll is "the Devil's music", and that anything related to pop culture is somehow below them. That moral high ground, though, has been undermined by Leftists using pop culture against us, so we'd better get our collective head out of our collective a** and get busy fighting back. Otherwise, our FEMA camp awaits.

There are others. I hope this works out the way you want it to.

By all means get going with a 3rd party.
The democrats will help you, and give you money for it.
