Jim,
There’s clearly no home for true conservatives in the GOP. So exactly what are you going to do? Will you support the development of a third party. A real choice - a real alternative to the Republicrat Demublican two-party kabuki theater?
We who refuse to vote for Romney -must- unite behind a third party. If we don’t, we’re no better than the party-line Republicans who cry about the need for change but do nothing about it.
I know that some people will say “Cato, this is an election year, so this is the WORST time to start a third party.” I’ve got news for you: there never will be a ‘good’ time. Most people don’t pay attention to politics in off-years, so we’d probably be ignored if we waited. If we do it during an election year, yes, we’re going to split the vote in certain cases.
Nobody ever said that change would be easy, but it’s necessary. Again, if we do nothing, we’ll accomplish nothing. We’ll be no better than the Mittwits.
We need to strike while the iron is hot so we’ll get exposure. If we can get exposure, we can make progress. As difficult a fight as this will be, the only other option, trying to change the GOP from within, is a proven failure.
