This Boehner is a POS, plain and simple. Going against my religious beliefs, I wish him ill.
I’m convinced the only way now is a third party. The monied interests who fund both political parties have zero interest in the founding fathers’ concept of individual liberty or the plight of the middle class. The fact Republicans are using political capital fighting for derivatives trading on Wall Street, in the current omnibus spending bill, instead of defunding Obamacare and amnesty is telling. The GOPe is purely and simply a pawn of Wall Street and not a party representing citizens.
When individuals of good conservative character go to Washington it seems they are coopted within one or two election cycles. Few are independently wealthy so eventually even those of the highest character bow to the realities of the campaign funding process. Others fall more quickly due to extortion or bribes. Essentially the Republican power structure is a corrupt criminal organization. When you join a criminal organization, it is impossible to remain uncorrupted.
The Article V convention may be one answer but there is a risk of it being hijacked and reform the system in a way that facilitates permanent one party rule by the left. Another option would be for a group of elected conservatives to split from the Republican Party and form a Freedom Party. If Cruz, Lee, Palin, Gingrich, and a few more prominent elected and free agent Republicans would form a third party, pulling with them 10% or more of Republican elected officials at all levels, it would set the stage for coalition government. To preserve power, the GOPe would be forced to negotiate power sharing with conservatives or face being in the minority. Under this scenario, as the conservative party increased its membership through the electoral process its power in the coalition would increase until it became dominant.
Should the GOPe not come to terms, the new conservative party can go to work building national support in the same way Nigel Farage and the UK Independence Party is doing the UK. The Republican Party will eventually go the way of the Whigs.
