Maybe the GOP needs to go the way of the Whigs? The Vichy Republicans are collaborators with the Progs. They need to be driven from power and a new party replace them! USIP is the answer—Best if the Tea Party can take over the GOP and bring it back to Reaganism. That or 3rd Party Time. Our British cousins have shown the way with the UKIP—The Tories have been in bed with the Liberals for too long and have lost their ability to be an opposition party — they are tokens only—Liberal-lite only. UKIP may well save the day.
You may be on to something...
