You have very eloquently stated the fundamental causes of this damned mess we are faced with. I voted twice for W and at the present time I would not support him for Commissioner of Public Works. The same goes for a large portion of the Republicans who occupy positions in this Administration and Congress.

I agree with your assessment of the remedy, a sort of “Creative Destruction” of the party. It is the only way to root these people out and get it back on track. Failing this a viable, philosophically pure Third Party is mandatory.

I am going to print out and save this thread as it contains the best series of posts regarding statements of both the problems along with some of the solutions I have seen in a single thread since I’ve been at FR. I would urge others to do the same and, periodically, re-read it at points in the future.

Thanks for the props... Having now read your posts herein, I can say you're not doing so bad yourself. :) I am in complete agreement with your statements thus far.

I would further propose a "throw the bastards out" campaign against anyone who signed on to (or supported in any way) the amnesty deal. I don't want a single one of them left standing, at least none who are up for office this year. We can worry about the rest next go-around.

We need to note those who stood in the breech too, those few true Conservatives who tried to stop the bloody thing, and ask their blessing on those we intend to elect- If they don't like them, we had best not elect them. A concerted effort to develop true Conservatives in both houses is past due and of the greatest necessity. A new Contract with America must be put forward.

I really hope to go for brokered. I hope that Huck stays in to make that happen. Perhaps by then the party will understand it's folly, but I doubt it. Considering the power resting in the leadership in such a condition, a brokered convention will probably result in more of the same.

I, like many others, have resigned from the Republican Party, a membership I have held for nearly thirty years. I would be happy to support a third party, or an independent candidate of a Conservative nature.
