Don’t be afraid to speak up!!!!You are so right!!They are pompass asses!!!!

I think Rush had it wrong yesterday when he said something to the effect of ‘Independents are going Conservative.’ I think the bigger trend is that Conservatives are going independent.

You left the party 30 years ago which means before Reagan and yet you post a vanity trying to tell the GOP what to do. Sorry but no sale. We needed people 30 years ago to get Reagan elected so anything you have to say now is just making yourself and a few other 3rd party people feel good.

They're coming around to Hoffman only after they couldn't get their apparatchik candidate elected. No - they're not standing on principle.

How many people on this forum believe what Glenn Beck said this evening that a third party could win the Presidency in 2012?

Conservative = Donations
GOP = Not so much.
A couple more of these and the Fat Lady will start warming her pipes.

I enjoy watching Sean Hannity on Fox. While he is a pretty good conservative on most issues it appears, he is also a diehard republican. Case in point: he had John “McShame” on his program the other night.
I thought we were trying to rid the Republican Party of neocons Sean!

You'll feel better after you buy your Victor the Victory Elephant from the Republican National Committee's website, gop.com.

Plush RNC Victory '08 Elephant

Show your support for John McCain and all our GOP candidates by proudly displaying the Republican National Committee’s newest member, Victor the Victory Elephant.

Victor is ready to hit the Convention floor to place his nomination vote for John McCain and rally Republicans to victory with his Convention Pennant. This wonderful plush toy is available for a limited-time only. Actual size 5" x 4"

Doesn't this sort of cutting-edge marketing make you thrilled to be on the same team with the GOP? That Obama fellow has not a prayer of defeating the mighty GOP machine led by John McCain.

I only have one correction:

I've had the same experience. There is no place for feedback on their website. The GOP apparently wants nothing from us except donations.

I left the Republican Party in 1996, shortly after the election in November. I’d been a party activist since the early 1980’s, a huge campaigner for Reagan as President of the College Republicans in 1984, and served as Executive Committeeman for my precinct in SC from 1994-1996. I left for two reasons: (1)Because Newt Gingrich and the Republican Congress had folded like a cheap lawn chair before Clinton in 1995, following their “Contract with America.” (2) Because the State Republican Party in South Carolina under Governor David Beasley lied and betrayed supporters on several important issues.

I saw back in 1996 that the Republicans were adrift, away from the Conservative principles of Reaganism, and back toward the statism seen in the Nixon years. GHW Bush nor “W” Bush — both of whom I held my nose and voted for — were movement Conservatives of the variety of Ronald Reagan. (BTW — Reagan WAS a Conservative. Maybe not a “perfect” conservative, but a far sight better than anything we have today!)

Glenn Beck is right — a 3rd party is a possibility in 2012 — IF: (1) The Republicans CANNOT get a clue and learn the lesson that Conservatives vote PRINCIPLES, not PARTIES (2) If Obama and his loyalists don’t find a way to prevent the 2012 election (maybe I’m nuts — but NOTHING would surprise me about this bunch!)

If Republicans keep trying to Bush, Dole and McCain Conservatives, they are destroying their own party. In that case, the emergence of a Conservative party to supplant them would be welcome, and seems at this point overdue. If the Whigs and Federalists drifted by the wayside and were replaced by the Republicans, whose to say their fate is any more sacred or protected?

There is no longer a Grand OLD Party. They blew themselves out in the last 12 years (or more).

I agree with Rush, et. al...,no third party (okay, except for Hoffman) But no calling ourselves the "old" party....Whitel it must remain the REPUBLICAN Party, it must be sans the RINO'S yet with a conservative base...McClain, Lindsey Graham and the like need to move to WalMart...they can be door greeters for all I care.

Personally I picture Graham in the shoe department and McClain in the eyeglass section of the store, but, you mileage may vary.

Move over, all you old bastards that played pay for play in the republican party...we are taking our party back for AMERICA!!!!

Here’s what I do with the pre-paid envelopes the RNC sends. I mail them stuff, usually things I find on FR. Just today I mailed them the article on how Steele supports Scazzacommieo over the conservative candidate in New York. I added one of Secret Agent Man’s RINO Dollar bills. I use nearly every envelope they send. My favorite thing to send them is scanned and printed Monopoly money. I just scan a page of them and type in “I’ll send real money when you give me real conservatives to vote for.”
