If the GOP in any state passes health care regulations that contradict conservative principles then this is a failing of the grass roots tea party movement of that state.
But what on earth do you mean by "the hell with them"? What is your proposal other than to nominate conservatives to run as Republicans and then try to get them elected?
Are you talking third party?
Those aren't my words, those are Jim Robinson's - you know, the guy who owns this site?

My proposal is to vote for the Conservative candidate. At the presidential level, neither the (R) nor the (D) candidate meets that criteria - not even close - they are both liberals, however Virgil Goode of the Constitution Party does meet the criteria of being a Conservative. Not perfect mind you, but neither was Newt and I would have gladly voted for him. Down the ballot, there are plenty of fine Conservatives with and (R) after their names. They will get my vote.
Personally, I find your candidate and his/your liberal agenda a non-starter.
