I still wish there was an alternative conservative party we could go to.
I hear you, usually the beloved "Independents".
I was one of the idiots who voted for Perot in '92 and it gave us slick willie.
Constitution party?
Heck, the Libertarian Party nominated a more Conservative candidate than the Republican party did for 2012. (Johnson vs Romney)
The thing is, the Republican party is on very, very thin ice insofar as their base (and, IME the general population) is concerned — over the past few years they've been very ineffectual and w/o any vision distinguishing them from the Democrats. If they do nothing to differentiate themselves from the Democrats between now and 2016 — well, I don't think we'll see a Republican party for 2020.
We need to build one. That’s the 500 pound gorilla in the room.
If everyone who excoriates conservatives on this board by saying “I’m a conservative, BUT...” would help, it would be a start.
May I suggest you do a little research about the constitution party? You might find it just what you are looking for or close enough.
UKIP is stirring up waves with the next parliamentary by-election scheduled for next Thursday November 20th.....
That’s an election I can get excited about.
Then help build one.
