And if Jeb is elected the result will be??? The same thing only the cheap ass beer version liberal instead of the champagne swilling out of the closet liberals that is the democrats.
Then the question is not whether or not to settle for a kinder more functional tyrant but to pick the good or evil that is most likely to lead to revolution and thus correction one way or the other.
When both paths are phony seek other options. For us that means finding a 3rd party with a vested interest in opposition to Washington as a whole then creating an environment where they might politically be driven to act.
In this case we have states with state leaders willing to vote for convention and nullification. If we need a democrat in the white house to serve as political motivation then we can allow for that.
Ask yourself why it hasn't changed already, the answer is pretty clear.
You guys need to get a new tune if you expect us to dance with you again.

>>The GOP isn’t an opposition party, they just play one on TV — at this point there’s nobody standing up for liberty, nobody standing against statism.
It’s only an opposition party during the election. Then it reverts back to being the Chamber of Commerce Wing of the Progressive Party, in “opposition” to the Organized Labor and Welfare Wing of the Progressive Party.
One side wants an impoverished, government subsidized labor pool and the other side wants an impoverished, government subsidized labor pool.
Freedom is not a part of their platform. Freedom makes people think they have value as an individual.
Winning elections isn't easy. McCain didn't stand a chance after the economy tanked. And could Gingrich or Cain or Santorum or Bachmann really have won last time?
They (GOPe) and the libtards have become one party and are pulling off the greatest con job in our nation’s history, perpetuating the idea that ‘they’ are really giving us a ‘choice’ in the voting booth.
Certainly most of the time the two parties' candidates are closer to each other in views than most passionate Republicans and Democrats or conservatives and liberals are, but there has to be some reason why passionate partisans hate the candidate of the other party so much nowadays.
There is NO other explanation for their fear and hatred of true conservatives.
Is it really fear and hatred? If Newt Gingrich, say, is a true conservative and Karl Rove isn't, do they really hate each other?
He lost congress because the pastel GOPe was feckless. They did pass a tax cut but little else, refused to even discuss conservative issues like abortion.
West lost his House seat. You can say he was gerrymandered, but whatever. You have to overcome that. It's the same problem, in part, that Rick Santorum had: it's hard to convince people that you can win the presidency when you can't even carry a state.
I don’t disagree about Ted Cruz. But to keep him on his toes he needs a capable opponent that comes from the conservative point of view in primaries. I think that opponent should be Col. West. To me he is the only alternative to Cruz. I still don’t understand why he is not talked about. Although it might be a good thing for him to stay below the radar.
History is repeating itself.
No Jeb, no way.
Go ahead and blame me now for President Hillary.
My vote must be earned. It is not automatic because of an R next to someones name.
I only vote for conservatives.
I'll write in Ted Cruz.
It wasn't true in 2008, and I think it hasn't been true since the New Left overreacted the old Democrat bosses and started putting up progressively more liberal (and in Slick's case, deceptively so -- remember that "DLC" shtick) and in Obama's case, actually Communist, while the brains of the GOP-E continue to attempt "The Price Is Right" strategies that exclude the party's base.
The GOP-E is conducting a pogrom of the Congressional party; that is proof of my (borrowed) thesis articulated here by others, that the GOP is fecklessly following the captive Democrat Party to the left. They are now actually behaving like case-hardened Leftists.
Quit laughing...it was just on the news here in Red Hampshire...
Erratum to my last: “Overreached” not “overreacted” (inserted by AutoSpell**cker).
Agree. Let’s lose, and clean our house before making a comeback.
Totally agree. I will NEVER support one of these creeps again.
He is being ignored because of the GOPe. We need to dismantle the GOPe before we have any chance of a true conservative takeover.
