Bob, - how can we rid ourselves of the 'two party' system, if we unconditionally support one half of it?

A two party system works in our favor. Each peddles to the middle to win so all one has to do is move the middle in their direction to change the culture.

That is ~not~ how the systems been working Bob.
Each faction has indeed been peddling socialism to the middle. -- And that's why we conservatives are in big trouble.

Who decides the middle?

"And that's why we conservatives are in big trouble."

We conservatives are in trouble because we sat idly by while the left captured the means of disinformation dissemination and molding the minds of youth....the media and our educational system.

Can't argue with that. Yet, as Bob stated, we have the 'cheerleaders' to thank for this mess too. Other than Ann Coulter, I can think of few on the Right who'd look good in a skirt while championing the ideals of maximum individual liberty and limited government.
