I agree with that. The GOPe leaders we now have are corrupted by the government, lobbyists, media, unions, everybody has a piece of them.
However, the GOP grassroots are the real GOP. We have to get rid of the politicians that have been corrupted and bring in ones that are more in line with the people they are supposed to represent.
Rather than go third party, it would seem easier to reform the existing party which in reality belongs to the grassroots not to the crooked people who have been in Washington for too long.
Why can't we just reclaim our party. We have to overthrow McConnell and company.
You are obviously ignorant, perhaps willfully so of what the Ruling Class just last week has done to make sure a grassroots takeover of the GOP will never happen.
I submit you have acute cognitive dissonance and a fatal case of Normalcy Bias.
I have worked in the GOP from the streets to state delegate. I was there when George was crowned and Rove was kingmaker. He was a bastard then, and his ilk have infiltrated every part of the party. The cancer has spread so far that I’m not sure the patient can survive. Either way, there is a lot of pain involved and the party is dead in all but name.
The have accused us conservatives of abandoning their pathetic candidates forever, but they are going to see what it looks like when we actually do. We were the only dumb asses that voted again and again for the lying, miserable, conniving, amoral hacks that they ran despite all our misgivings and ultimately, our principles.
I don’t know that the party will care. Those in charge are truly content to live off of the blood of our country’s soul. They have no principle, no morals. Unless we wrest the party back, there is no party.
But thinking that the base runs the party is beyond naive. This party is run by the same big money, big politics, big government consortium as the Democrats. They are evil and they have shown their true colors. It will be a bloody fight and it won’t be confined to the ballot box.
I will never vote for another RINO as long as I live and I will not work for the party in any capacity until they return to the founding principles.
