This is absolute truth... Or at least, accepting this is where we begin to see peace... camaraderie.
Open primaries and elected Republicans have made it impossible for Conservatives to get any support.
Again: Truth. The ballot box is busted. IMO, there is only one 'box' left to stand upon, unless we move in unison to counteract what has happened to the ballot box. That almost inherently means a 3rd party attempt.
Hopefully in 2016, we can nominate a person that agrees with us. If not we’ll do this all over again.
This is the one place I disagree with you, D1. Our FRiend Yam has one thing right: a sense of dire urgency. I don't want to wait until 2016, to face the same jiggered system all over again. I don't want to sacrifice 2012 to a low turnout yield - I want to blow out all the stops. Right now! Carpe Diem!
I would draw your eye to the TEA Parties - Their origination occurred spontaneously, pretty much in a matter of a month or so - So to those who say it is too late, I would say it is never too late... And what a boon it would be to have such an effort come into bloom right about the end of summer, when most folks are just starting to pay attention to politics: We could be the October surprise for a change!
But if we were to upset things, it would have to start now - Time is of the essence - Otherwise folks will be staying home again, just like last time, and we are doomed to wait till 2016, where btw, all forecasts would indicate that we would have to upset things then anyway. Now is as good a time as any.
Thanks for the comments of agreement.
I do think you may misunderstand my thoughts in that I am perfectly willing to join efforts to get our nominee kicked out on his ass, but if that were to happen at this stage, it might have taken place too late to rebound.
It would be a very hard feat to accomplish, but I’m game if the mood can be swung in that direction.
