And your VIABLE 3rd party is... ?

The GOP isn't good enough for you. So, what are you going to do besides gripe? What's your alternative?

What's your alternative? Sure, the GOP has demonstrated that it can win elections, but what good is that when Republicans insist on governing like liberal Democrats? What are you going to do to support true conservatism in your party? The GOP leadership knows that so-called conservatives will vote for candidates like Alan Keyes in the primaries but will turn and support the liberal-to-moderate candidate like George W. Bush in the general election. So what good is it to stay in the party? The liberals in the GOP know that voters like you would never abandon them, so what incentive do they have to change their ways?

So I guess the GOP IS good enough for you. The former leader of the Republican party in my state is a criminal who is being asked to resign because of all his scandals. (They gave him a pass on the largest tax increase in state history and continued lying to the public) The new leader of the GOP in my state is pro-choice. Cool huh?

Gripe? LOL, any time someone tries to hold your swine to their rhetoric it's called griping or whining by the lemmings and bootlickers of anyone with an "R" behind their name.

I'm not saying you are one of them, only that you risk sounding like them.

The alternative is to work to change the hearts and minds of the people who vote for and nominate these socialist slugs.

Your challenge about a VIABLE third party is a non starter designed to eliminate all choices except Republicrats. Nice try.

Question;
If I said I was committed to your party but the first step in saving it was to remove all those who are currently in power there, would you endorse that? No, you would talk about "big tents" and "Reagan's law" and control of the senate and other such nonsense.

Do what you will, I'll do what I will, but remember, if you continue to let them take you for granted because "they ain't Clinton", you will get "Democrat lite" forever. Because they aren't interested in doing what is right, they are interested in being in power.

"If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always gotten."
