I fight all liberals. Even when it isn’t necessarily in my own short-term political interest.

You didn’t answer me. You just made an unsupported assertion.

Too often it sounds like you’re giving up. We need to take our party back, by any means necessary.

It’s your party, not mine. And I never give up.

You just contradicted yourself. You “gave up” by leaving it, in which case it means why would you care who’s running it ? Because many of us care.

I don’t care whether the Republican Party lives or dies. I only care if the republic lives or dies.

If you really care about defeating the liberals and unprincipled hacks who have your party in a death grip you should be thankful that I continue to help you in that task.

No. When the Republican politburo completely blackballed the candidate I think most qualified to be president, and then refused to count my family's votes in the last election cycle, they left me.

You need to wake up to the true condition of your party before it's too late.

Not only is it now completely unprincipled, it is hopelessly impractical in any sense that will help save this country.

We’ll have to resume this conversation tomorrow if you want.

Good night.

We need a viable party apparatus in order to fight against and take back our republic from the Marxist/Stalinist left that has taken control of the Democrats and sending out their agents to hijack control of the GOP. Third party is an ultimate waste of time for Conservatives because all it does is assure complete control for the Dems come election time. Sure, it’s an alternative to vote on principles, but as long as you have NO seat at the table of power, you’re just pissing into the wind. We need to focus on having a strong SECOND party to oppose them. Otherwise, you’re not doing anything to help.

I didn’t even GET to vote in the Presidential primary because there WAS no serious, qualified Conservative candidate left on the ballot. Fred Thompson was already gone. First time in my adult life I cast no ballot in a Pres. primary.

And I do indeed recognize the condition of the party and why the cancer of liberalism must be excised from the GOP.

But as we’ve had this discussion many times, it would be perpetually disingenuous to assert the AIP will ever be able to elect people to office to make a difference. Third party movements in this country don’t go anywhere. Because once the left has absolute control of the GOP, it’ll be as easy as swatting a gnat to take out your little protest show. Think about it.

Becoming ambassador to China doesn’t exactly take him out of the presidential game. (H.W. Bush)

LOL. He is being appointed as OBAMA's Ambassador. He is getting married to THIS administration. He's now Obama's butt boy.

More Machiavellian moves by the Democrats - who have clearly brought guns to the knife fight. This essentially puts another governorship in play. Marvelous.

This brings a governorship into play that a CONSERVATIVE can win and rids us of another RINO. Win-Win situation as far as I am concerned. Let’s hope the rest of the RINOS go over to the enemy as well. Start with Steele, Powell and the Maine snow queens.

This is what happens when we accept RINO’s in the party. They are useless to us and will turn in moment’s notice to socialism.

The best thing that can happen is that all the weak hands get kicked out of the party.

Ah...

A chance for Mitt to get back into politics!

The way UTAH voters went for him in 2008 will make his appointment as Governor a shoo-in!
