"I'm beginning to believe that two out of three members are actually Democrats."

Some of them were Democrats, then swtiched over to Republicans when they saw which way the wind was blowing. They corrupted the conservative movement in the party. A real conservative party is sorely needed. Then the Rinos can let their hair down and show their true selves.

Many people on FR decry a third party claiming that all it will do is allow Democrats to get elected. They are correct about this. In the beginning Republican party Rinos will lose. The die-hard liberals in America don't like Democrat Light Republican Rinos anymore than conservatives do. Brainwashed liberals want the real thing too!

Eventually the Rino Republican Party will die off, destroyed by the hard core Left wing DemonRAT Party. That will leave a real conservative party standing as the only opposition. And then Americans will see that they have a real choice. It will be difficult for the country and for conservatives for some time. But I don't see any way for real conservatives to make any headway except by forming a party that will really stand up for conservative principles. Let the pseudo-conservative Republican Party die off.

We all seriously need to successfully create The Conservative Party for the long-term! The Republican Party at every political level can just die for all I care.

If it really is as bad as this I’ll be looking for another party. I can’t vote for a Schwarzenegger version of the Republican party.

You mean like Chester Lott? They would be the obvious ones, but I think that there are "always was" 'pubs who have been been moles.

I doubt if a "conservative" third party will succeed in this country, simply because the rhetoric and zealotry that a lot of nominally "conservative" people exhibit (such as right here on FR) turns off too many who might otherwise consider such a move. Just because one is right does not mean that one is palatable.

This is not acceptable. It’s not an opposition party. It’s a patsy party.

I have no idea who the “you” you keep referring to might be. Many of us have fought, spent our money on campaigns, been disappointed by men without character or morals. Many of them even hid behind their Christian facade. But, we continue to fight, and recognize that the world is what it is. If the best we can hope for today may be a stalemate, then so be it. It is also our responsibility to find people who are of character and still willing to walk into our snake pit of a government.

They would have been smarter to wait until after the election to morph into Democrat-lite.

I could have saved them the $ they wasted on polling. They should have either interviewed a couple of the people the RNC hired to call people for donations, or asked to see the returned envelopes' contents that were intended for donations. That would have given them a clue.

Quick, somebody give him a red flannel shirt, maybe he will abandon the Senate for another harmless run.
