“When Ted Cruz and Sarah Palin switch to Independent, I’ll do likewise. Until then, I stand for taking back OUR party from the quisling traitors who now control it.”
What is a party but a name?
I see your point but in my opinion, the GOP is close to the point of no return due to the sell out leadership.
RINO’s to me are no longer people like McCain. He is what the Republican party has become. Cruz and Palin are RINO’s. They are different from the rest of the party.
A party is much, much more than just a name.
People band together under umbrellas because of shared concepts and ideals. When those shared ideals are abandoned by the party leadership, or the goals and purposes of the group are subverted and twisted 180 degrees out of sync with the founding precepts of the members, failure and disillusionment follow.
This is what has happened to the Republican party. The rank and file members still cling to the founding precepts and agreements of the group, but the leadership does not. It doesn't mean the group as a whole has faltered - just the leadership.
Tea Party stalwarts have been saying for years that we need to take the party back from the entrenched special interests and those who conspire and collaborate with our enemies.
A lone TEApublican Senator from Texas has now sent an electric fear throughout the entire right-wing traitor lobby, and has put them on notice that their time in the driver's seat is over. It won't take more than a handful of reinforcements in Congress to send the whole lot of them running.
We're on the verge of victory here. Now is the time to push like you've never pushed before, to expunge the establishment sell-outs from OUR party.
