I like to vote in the primaries, but that’s it.

I do not donate to the GOP.

Hope you like President Warren.

LOL! Wow, you just made me realize that voting for a RINO like Jeb or Christie over Warren will indeed SAVE our Republic from Statism and eventual collapse. Your logic is impeccable. /sarc.

You, Karl Rove and every other fool who believes that voting for a RINO will make any difference are totally delusional.

The evil GOPe HATES Conservatives with a white-hot passion.

2012 was the very last time I will ever cast a vote for any RINO.

It is only a matter of time before the utterly corrupt GOP is cast into the dustbin of history.

nothing you are doing will be fixed by conventional means.

And the alternative is..?

Then, by all means, explain how voting for a liberal is OK and conservative because I really want to see someone do it after the tens of thousands of unsuccessful tries in the last 3 elections.

Your premises and definitions do not invite discussion. It's easy to win debates when you declare that Romney / McCain are just as evil as Obama. I can't engage with such a mind. And I do not follow the herd, regardless. So mark me as one of your vanquished. Thanks for the dot connecting.

I am done.

HumbleGunner ...

You’ve been awful quiet tonight ... have a busy weekend chasing squirrels ?

or are you ready to answer that question ... “Daddy ... What did you DO in the great World War Two” ?

especially the weekend of the 2015-01-03 Free Republic created national rallies to “STOP Obama Amnesty — FIRE John Boehner” ?

Never Had a thread to hang from. Although I’ve supported members and will continue to do so as approprate, I’ve never been a member of the gop wing of the uniparty.

Let me take a crack at it, from a different angle. Let me say up front, I dont think that anyone the GOP has ran in the past 3 elections is as “bad as Obama”. McCain, Romney, any Bush...they are moderates, but not full communists.
One of my favorite books is “the Screwtape letters” by CS Lewis. In case you aren’t familiar or if anyone reading isn’t, Screwtape is a senior devil mentoring a younger devil on how to corrupt a man and lead him to hell. Screwtape’s philosophy can be summed up as “the best road to hell is a gradual one”. And that is why I am very guarded as to whether I can vote for Jeb or any such “moderate” again in a national election. Because the standard is not whether Jeb or Chris Christie or whoever is better than Clinton or Warren. Of course they are.
The problem is they dont have to be. But the issue is, where is the country headed, and what is the best way to prevent us from going there, if that is possible.

I am of the opinion that if we continue to nominate “democrat lite”, even if we win, we continue on this gradual road to ruin known as socialism.

Now in full disclosure, I’m not someone who believes anymore that we can “reverse” course. I think that its going to take a revolutionary type split because, simply put, I think the leaches are too many and the “one man one vote” poison allows the leaches to vote to stay attached to their host. We’re going to have to have some kind of divide into a Traditional States of America and a Progressive States of America. Call me a tinfoil hat guy if you want, but I think thats the hope. But if there is a possibility that this thing can turn around, there’s going to have to be some kind of shock that causes people to realize that socialism NEVER works...and I dont think that will ever happen if we keep electing candidates that run on the platform of “I’m less of a socialist than the other guy” also known as “I’m a moderate”...because they just turn the heat up gradually, and that frog just keeps swimming.

“What would it take to get the new party started? “

Very easy to start, very difficult to get anywhere with. The uniparty is very, very good at marginalizing any potential competition. They have 150 plus of exerience. Just to cite one example, the uniparty makes it very difficult to get a party on the ballot at all. Instead of spending time debating issues, minor parties spend their time petitioning and suing just to get on the ballot.

You should reply and let these supporters of the GOP know how you feel. Because they think theirs is the dominant opinion on the right and that we are all wrong.

Speak up and tell them what you think.

“only a third?”

These are the folks who still identify as members of the gop wing of the uniparty. Those who’ve already caught on wouldn’t be surveyed.

“By Monday afternoon January 5th, 2015 ... SCORES (143) of GOP House Representatives had agreed to vote for Congressman Louis Gohmert (TX Tea Party) for the next House Speaker !”

Are you speculating or is that the count?

Virginia went one step further and got rid of the “cluttered” ballot and reduced the choices to two: willard and Ron Paul. Not a big fan of Ron Paul, but I happily voted for him given he was the only reasonable choice on the ballot.

This has been coming on since Reagan left office, I'm surprised the GOP made it this far.
