What was it that Reagan said? I didn’t leave the republican party ... the republican party left me.

They don’t need me. or you. or anyone. They can fight this battle with their marvelous ideas ... like ... um ... what are their ideas again? Oh yeah, they don’t have any. Beat Obama - go team!

I do understand that Republican!=Conservative, but how much has this been our own fault?

The TEA party only went half way; people got fed up and protested, which was good, but went home after that. Even the various bodies leading the TEA party said it wasn't pro-Republican or democrat, but rather a movement of the people.

That was a mistake. We need to retake the party. Pat Fish has shown us the way, and Bray and his group tried (keep going, Bray!). We need to double down on the Republicans, not leave them.

To that end I have just joined my local Chamber of Commerce. It's full of get-along and some conservative Republicans, but I'm talking a very conservative message, and how this is GOOD for business. We all neeed to do more than post to each other. We need to be out there!

The easiest thing to do now is leave the Republicans.

The harder work is taking back the party.

I'm sure no one wants to do the hard work, but the choices are terrible! I'm sure the Marines hoped the Japs would just give up on Iwo Jima, too. It's a fight, if we have the stomach for it.

It appears you get your information from the drive-by media.

Are you saying there is no merit to any of the legislation passed by the GOP Congress which went unreported by the RATagandists, and has been stuffed in the trash can over at the RAT-controlled Senate?
