The Republicans are a compromised party
Not only that, virtually all US institutions have been compromised by the Marxists. The schools, universities, former news industry, entertainment, the courts, ALL city governments, most state executive-branch departments...all un-named faceless LIFER bureaucRATs from top to bottom....all RATs.
How does your 53rd third party overcome that? I see the salvation of the US, not in a conservative "third party" but by the urgent and unified action of the Red States.
Does that sound RINO to you?
Rock you didn’t read my post. I am not talking about yet another 3rd party. Rock do you see any opposition at the national level by the Republican party? I haven’t seen anything in the obama administration and I have seen nothing but retreat, bipartisan surrender, go along get along liberalism in Washington by the GOP since 1996. So tell me do we have a 2nd party in opposition to the liberal left? If you honest you know the answer is a resounding no.
We need a 2nd party to counter balance the absolute corruption and destruction that the liberal democrat/republican uniparty is currently engaged in. If wanting an opposition party is crazy call me that, but currently there is no opposition party. The both want the same things the only question is the bill they send to you and me. It would seem you are content to work from within until they stick a fork in you and pull you out of the boiling kettle, at which point they will still tell you they are Reagan conservatives, just believe in them, why they would never lie! I’ll pass on that.
The liberals that control the Republican party are not going away. They are perfectly content to destroy the country to retain their place at the $$trough and advance the cause of their fellow travelers. If you can’t remove an infection sometimes you have to amputate. The Republican party has turned into a gangrene, festering puss filled cancer on America. We have massaged, band aided and played with this mess for 30 yrs. and allowed it to get so bad you can’t recognize a Republican from a Democrat in Washington.
Many of the Republicans for life regardless of their betrayals will wail and moan that the democrats are far worse. I agree, they are but you can’t engage the democrats when the alleged party of opposition the Republicans agree with everything the democrats trot out except the price tag. There is no opposition, just collusion and destruction. The true believers in the almighty Party seem to think the Party will actually fight for them for some insane reason. Why would you expect your enemy to fight for your political beliefs, that is no logical and the Republican Party is in no way conservative, but very much a liberal little me-me of the democrats at the national level.
It’s time for the Republican party to die as a party, it must. It won’t reform or offer a different direction so what is the point of it’s continued existence. People like you said the world would end if they killed the Federalist party and the Whig party, it didn’t. Conservatives need to kill off the GOP or force it publicly to merge with their bed buddies the democrats and be prepared to step in and fill the void which will be left.
