The GOP is run by pious passive wimps that are fully Tone Deaf.
If this outlook has been rejected time and again on theis very forum in regard to our Country's enemy, how is domestic war any different?
You make a good case for a new party. Thanks.
Freepers, I am leaving for Church now; I will check back later - keep up the debate.
theis = this
Sounds like you've been brainwashed by a liberal.
I don't know about you, but I just don't have the time to keep track of what the scoundrels in Washington are planning to do to me next. So I belong to a several groups of like minded citizens (e.g. NRA, AOPA) which do keep track for me, and (oooooh) lobby on behalf of their members.
You would make this illegal?

You make a good case for a new party. Thanks.
The activist left has changed their voting affiliation to Republican in order to get liberal Republicans elected. The useful idiots in the Republican party vote for the liberal Republicans just because they have an (R) after their name!
Vote for a liberal, you get liberalism. Get it?
Don't vote (D/L). Don't vote (R/L). Don't vote for a letter of the alphabet.
Vote for a Philosophy. Vote for a Conservative.
The other issue with this idea is that the 2 major parties use emotion and lowest common denominator marketing to sell ideas they will never implement. In our dumbed down society this works for those with a 30 second attention span. The arguments we as conservatives make are intellectually based and require people to shelve their emotional attachments and study. The commies in both parties have seen to it that the voting public won't want to invest that much brain power, it's easier to vote for the pretty candidate. This may get people riled but that is why the GOP focuses on the "evangelical" issues and voters. They are swayed by the highly emotionally charged issues like abortion and gay marriage and the like., These are issues the gov't should not be involved in. I want the limited gov't envisioned by Jefferson. Low taxes, almost no federal intervention in issues like education and energy. I want a President who will push his ideas and if congress balks then veto their bills. If nothing gets done, FINE! I want a gov't that fights wars when needed and fights to win, cost be damned. Our enemies should have the smell of our powder in their nose when we are done. I want a president to actually cust spending, not reduce the projected growth but to carve out the waste and reduce the levels of gov't spending. I would love to run but I fear I am just too annoying to get elected. Besides, I have a real job I can't just blow it off to run.
I'm not sure it is too early because by the time you think it is *time* to "shoot the bastards" then it may be too late.
'Triangulation' is the act of a candidate presenting his or her ideology as being "above" and "between" the left and right sides of the political spectrum. A related term is third way politics.
The GOP have taken 'triangulation' to a new level, which I call 'strangulation'.
'Strangulation' is the act of a GOP candidate presenting his or her idealogy as being "abhorrent" and "baffling" to the right side of the political spectrum. A related term is RINO politics.
Unless you can elect State Reps and Members of Congress, you'll never get anywhere................
Exactly! But you can do both, just organize a third party that will target RINOS in primaries, yet leave an option for a presidential candidate if the current one moves too far to the left.
All kinds of options and tactics available, just need the will to implement.
Party of Reagan?
Next time I'll have to read all the posts so I don't repeat what you both said.
[Mr] T
I have been thinking that it is time to start protesting our media on a regular basis. It may wake up some of those Americans who deserve the media they have.
One last point, if we can't get a candidate I would love to see a huge conservative rally in DC while congress is in session. Libs can mobilize the rent-a-mobs at a moments notice. Imagine 1 or 2 million conservatives encircling the Capitol while the dunderheads are in session. let them try to ignore us. Better yet during a state of the union address. It might get somebody's attention
lol, sounds like a post you would read on DU
What you said.
Conservatives work and have families.
Liberals feed off others and kill their offspring. They have nothing better to do.
