That does it...I’m registering as an Independent. Screw the GOP. I gave up on the GOP a couple months ago. I plan to vote for candidates of the American Conservative Party and anyone else who represents my viewpoints. I know that the GOP doesn't.

But that is what they want. In most states you cannot vote in the primary unless you are registered R. That is what is bothering them, we are throwing all the good ol boys out in the R primary. The conservative/teaparty are very, very good at local politics we have upset them very much, we need to continue until they are all purged, lets push back not run and hide in another party.

Please think local, your state and your precinct that is how we remake the party and piss off everybody, the D's, the R's, and the press!

We have some awesome candidates after trying this for only 4 years. Lee in Utah, Rubio, Jordan, Cruz, Rand Paul there are many more and perhaps none of them would be in the Senate and congress if it wasn't for conservative's fighting hard, IN THE PRIMARYS, for every one of them.

Well said! Take over the party at the local level, then work your way up to the state party. It happened so fast in Georgia three years ago that the GOPe never saw it coming. We outnumber them, but we've got to organize - and be willing to follow through and show up. And then keep showing up!

The GOPe is declaring war on Tea Party conservatives because it fears us, and wants to purge us from the GOP. Let's go after them!

GOP Senate Target Number One: Saxby Chambliss
GOP House Target Number One: Phil Gingrey

Re your post 66, I should have clarified myself.

You see, I’ve pretty much toosed in the towel. The electorate has changed so much that I think the outlook is hopeless. The American people are clearly going to get the government they deserve, and in the words of H. L. Mencken, they’re going to get it good and hard.

Now, that doesn’t mean I won’t vote for good Republicans down ticket. I will but I cannot see much of a future for this country.

Also, please understand that I am 72 and was told recently by my cardiologist that that I have pretty bad heart disease. Which does not surprise me since it runs in the family and I expected as such. I have outlived my male relatives so much that I am living on borrowed time.

Luckily for me, I have no children—hence no grandchildren—to suffer the consequences of the recent elections. For that, I am immensely grateful.
