Very true of BOTH PARTIES!
And if there are a majority of conservatives within either party or both parties, then whichever party is in power is to me irrelevant just as long as conservatives are in control.
That’s the point, of this part of the thread. Anne is focused on GOP as she should be but she should try to be more precise in referring to the Old Guard GOP, the ones that gave us McCain, the ones that expanded government, the ones that failed miserably because they dissed conservatives. Those republicans need to be purged just as badly as most dems.
In her writeup Anne mentioned she has Nexus and she has names.
Well Anne, name names. let’s Alinskyize the GOP leaders who are miserable failures and put pressure on them. Michael Steele for starters, Gingrich for another, McCain etc. Who are the names involved in losing PA-12? Why wasn’t a candidate put up that was more credible than Murtha’s Chief of Staff? Who financed the GOP candidate there? Who vetted him? Who prepared him, consulted with him, coached him? Who reviewed his advertising?
I cannot say exactly who but I can tell you the GOP leadership are a bunch of lazy good for nothings with mediocre brains. The only reason they are there is because someone put them there, meaning those with cashola. The moneyed interests have names, who are they? They are the ones we need to hound and heckle until they scream for relief.
And the relief will come when they start listening to conservatives and they get some Lee Atwater and Tom Delay types to run the war rooms.
It does not take a magical third party, in electoral parity to the others, rather it takes a nationally vocal contingent, that shows up those party bigotries and the Left for what they are; for instance in national debates. Just a few independent articulate voices can do it.
We are not talking election by election, but rather the long term elucidation of conservative versus leftist ideology. The Republicans have already repeatedly lost election by election, and will continue to do so (the Left/Democrats outsmart them every time), until the whole national ideological forum is shifted back to the right. Back to individual responsibility, self reliance, moral and ethical basis of prosperity, etc.
Does anybody here seriously think the Republican Party, as a money funding organization, is going to do that, until forced by outside pressure?
Well right now that outside pressure is the Tea Party, and any named third party with the right values is the only effective way. I guess the basic point is, to be independent, really really independent.
