But the question is whether to leave the party,
or kick them out of it.
I think we need to work harder at the latter.
Been working on doing that for nearly 30 years. It ain't working. At this point, many real Patriots have realized the GOP is dead, and there is no reviving it. The sooner the rest of us figure that out and walk away from the dead, bloated corpse, the better. I've said it before and I'll say it again: Anybody still willing to vote for the GOP is a moron and needs to check their patriotism.
Kicking them out is not going to happen. The party’s controlling apparatus is too tied to special interests and the GOP culture and mindset are too deeply entrenched. I just don’t believe that the party can be changed in any meaningful way. The apparatchiks will destroy anyone who challenges them. Just look at how the Tea Party is treated and marginalized.
The base is suffering from a severe case of battered wife syndrome. Year after year the GOP turns on its voters and yet they come back for more of the same.
The GOP is simply not what it claims to be. Talk is cheap. Their actions do not match their rhetoric. It is a party without a soul and devoid of any convictions.
