>>>So, please tell me what hope we conservatives have, given the realities of politics in this country, outside the GOP?<<<
What does the GOP have without the conservative base? And if the GOP is going to give away our wealth, our culture, and our country, what difference does it make who we support?
It's a glorified country club that's politically and culturally impotent.
It's as simple as that.
We hold the balance of power, now we just need to learn how to wield it.
