Do you think Karl Rove, to use just one example, would be a part of this party -- or any third party that espouses actual conservatism?
The point of a third party would be to do one of two things:
1. Bring the Republican Party to a position where it would actually have to listen to its base due to loss of national influence. We now know the the party is incapable of winning a national election due to its failure to beat the worst President in American history thanks to its insistence on a left-of-center candidate who ranked as among the worst the party has ever fielded.
2. Kill the Republican Party and replace it with a party structure that is closer to that of the Reagan coalition.
Either way, I don't see a downside. We aren't electing a Republican President any time soon because you can't out-liberal the liberals. Yet the left wing of the Republican Party is in charge and intends to stay there.
Some of us were unwilling to surrender in the election just past and are now being joined by people who have rediscovered their conservatism since the election. Either way, a split is likely inevitable.
The purpose of this website is to advance conservatism. Not the Republican Party. It has never been more clear that the two terms are now mutually exclusive.
Conservatism must have a vehicle with which to advance it’s agenda and like it or not, there are only two vehicles. Take your pick.
