This is why FReepers are saying goodbye forever to the Republican Party and saying we need a third party.

With all due respect a third party is an astonishing dumb idea...

There is not enough voters in this country for a third party to make a difference except to screw up conservative candidates in the primaries...

We already see the democrats running and funding pseudo "conservatives" to split the vote in primaries ...

What is needed is field good solid conservative candidates from within the Republican ranks until we gain enough clout and the ability to make real change in DC...

That takes time... it's coming...

BUMP

Give me a cashiers check for One Billion, and we can start a third party. Any less is laughable.

:: With all due respect a third party is an astonishing dumb idea :

1825: “The Whigs have been in political power in the past and they have broad support in both the North AND South. We shouldn’t swap horses in midstream (to use an 1825 colloquialism).”

Just wait Charlie Brown. Next year The Great Pumpkin will be here. You'll see Charlie Brown. OR No Charlie Brown I won't jerk the football away again. Go ahead Charlie Brown I promise. Good Old Charlie Brown. Keep falling year after year for the same old lies and giving Linus and Lucy chance after chance. We'll Charlie Brown might do it for you but the Conservative Base has had quite enough of it.

News Flash: The GOP was established in 1854 after the collapse of the party it soon replaced. It was up, running and had a sitting POTUS within two cycles 1860. All we have to do is pull all support for the GOP and watch it fall flat on it's corrupt face. The ones who fear doing this seem to be Party Loyalist who are likely county party officers etc who don't wish to loose their own influence.

Conservatives were given the middle finger Thursday night by a good portion of the GOP congress including SOH. My Turn To Return Same to my Rep who voted yes and to the party including that bald self appointed egotistical turd that shows up on TV as the voice of the GOP!!!!

We don't have time, they are drilling holes in the bottom of the boat faster than we can patch them.

Exactly what did the GOPe sell out for? Easier money for their campaigns, exactly what the voters were looking to gain, right?

If a genuine conservative populist doesn't rise out of this ash heap then the great experiment is over.

We have only one place to turn now and currently it isn't very popular. Wailing and gnashing of teeth won't help.
