The silent majority need only take over one of the parties and allow the country club rinos go away with cristine todd whitman into her third party.

I agree though that there is a serious lack of AMERICAN leadership in the republic party. We only have managers and manipulators, no leaders.

That is the plan.

Third parties cannot win as long as the winner is determined by a plurality.

If the laws were changed so that 50 % plus one vote determined the winner then the third party would have a chance.

Thus, it is much more effective to just boot out the RINOs and run the Republican Party the way it should be run, come 2014.

You say: “The silent majority need only take over one of the parties and allow the country club rinos go away....”

So are you a precinct delegate? I am but sadly not enough TEA partiers took action on this logical solution in my opinion.

All the major parties (there are 2 of them) are made up of various interest groups and segments of society and the economy. They are coalitions. Their purpose is to compete to win elections in single member districts.

In examining the Republican party it started out as a pretty clear coalition of Liberty Interests and Business Interests.

The Civil War came along. They won. The coalitions reassembled themselves and once Grant's Administration was passed on into history, we start with "modern times".

Currently two new interest groups ~ one called the Mittbots and another called the GoP-e have consorted together to subvert the Republican party and take it away from its historic bottom up control structure.

It is our job to stop them, and then REMOVE them from the Republican party. They are better off among their own kind in the Democrat party ~

  The silent majority need only take over one of the parties

  The important thing to do is to contact one of the active Republicans in your area. If you become active at the local level you can influence things greatly since it's often a pretty small club.
