Yes, and I am too. I was always opposed to a third party because I thought it would split the vote and assure Democratic victories. But now, I don’t think it matters much since the Republicans manage to squander every single opportunity when they get a majority. They try to out-Democrat the Democrats and end up demoralizing their base. We saw it in the last Presidential election. If we had thought much about it instead of listening to the likes of Karl Rove, Hannity, Limbaugh and others, we would have known that Romney didn’t stand the chance of a snowball in hell. I thought that anyone in their right mind would show up to vote against Obama. Boy was I wrong.
What organizational Republicans do not understand is that there are millions of votes to be had from patriotic, pro-freedom, pro-enterprise white people who would die before they voted for, let's say, former Congressman Charles (Charlie) Bass - he's just an example of an inherited wealth country-clubbing job exporting illegal importing Republican that I happen to know about. I'm sure there are more.
The brand is death for voters we need to reach. Time for a change.
“... I thought that anyone in their right mind would show up to vote against Obama. Boy was I wrong.”
That sums it up nicely. I thought the same thing, not quite understanding what Rush was meaning when he said voters have to vote FOR someone, not just AGAINST Obama.
Conservatives feel they don’t have a voice. And the Republican party seems to misunderstand at best, and are really closet liberals at worst.
Rand Paul comes close, and Cruz is right on, but both seem a lone voice, hell are vilified from the other Republicans.
Time to cut bait.
