My brother supports Ron Paul. And he helped Obama into the WHite House by supporting him.

A divided “right” kept Canada in Liberal governments for a long, long time.

I might be the first one to come up with this slogan but:

RUSH IS RIGHT!

I agree with you on that one however the GOP is wrong for not being a conservative party!

As opposed to electing what...RINOs who enjoy collaborating with Democrats?

It’s sad to see Rush shilling for the RINO Party again.

Rush is right. It's like saying: well, they've taken over America, so let's go build a new one somewhere else.

Uhm, not only no, but HELL NO. This is our country, and it's our Republican party. It's time to take BOTH of them back.

agreed....but then we have to turn the rePubes back into a conservative party again. We need to get rid of the McCains and the Lindsey Grahams in the party....and do it ASAP.

He is dead right.

But, not to say I told you so, but many of us warned that if we ran a faithless, worn out, inarticulate, unprincipled old man against an equally unprincipled but very articulate young man, we’d get our hat handed to us. Many of us warned that running McCain was begging for a train wreck.

Don’t make the same mistake again. Run someone who actually stands for something. Run someone who actually stands up and fights for what we believe in. Because if he won’t or can’t do that, he isn’t going to win the election, and if he does you still haven’t won anything.

No one who isn’t already in the fight against Obama now should even be considered for president. If we’re in the middle of the fight of the century, and they are sitting silent on the sidelines, they’ve no right to come calling two years from now. Speak up, get in the fight, or don’t even think about asking for my support.

Rush had a caller, today, who took issue with his spin that the D.C march was against Democrats, not Republicans. Besides being mad at Republicans for their lack of spine and disappointment during Bush’s term, she wondered aloud to Rush if we shouldn’t go third party.

Rush, as you would expect, disagreed with going third party. In fact, Rush says on one hand he’s mad at Republicans, but on the other there is a difference between them and Democrats. Curiously, when he tried to describe Obama, he used every term except the most accurate one - Marxist. Actually, Rush calls Obama a fascist. When Obama tries to nationalize 1/6th of the economy that isn’t fascism, that’s Marxism. When the government takes over GM and Chrysler that isn’t fascism, that is Marxism. Corporate execs (profit and non-profit) buying favorable policy to the exclusion of their competitors and the American people with campaign donations facilitated through lobbyists is fascism, not capitalism.

Anyway, Rush won’t go third party, but perhaps we can enlist his help in spotlighting Republicans who need to be defeated, rather than carrying water for the Republican party as a whole? Obama is setting up his party for a huge rout in ‘10, but unless we can excise the neo-con-RINO cancer from the party, we will squander a huge opportunity in ‘10 and ‘12.

Political parties are shaped by their members.
It is far easier and effective for conservatives to get involved in the GOP and make it what they want than to form a new party.

Think about it. If conservatives can’t even win a Republican primary, then how do they ever expect to win a general election?

The teaparties have illustrated something: when conservatives get politically active, they have the numbers and the power to accomplish all of their goals. Conservatives lose time and time again at the ballot box because they don’t bother showing up.

Unless the GOP makes a significant shift to the right, Obama will probably be reelected anyway.

Look who the GOP gave us in 2008.

It’s simple math. Lets say 33% are ultra conservative, 33% are conservative and 34% are hardcore marxists - the winner in our form of gov’t - the hardcore marxists.

Rush is usually right.
I really don’t want a third party.
I just want to vote out the RINOs during the primaries and have conservative candidates in the general election.

Rush is correct. Beck, (and not to the same degree but in different ways) O'Reilly are the people principally pushing this line, and as a recovering Libertarian I hate the "it aint a Right vs. Left" OR "Republican vs. Democrat thing."

Oh yes it is.

It is absolutely Right vs. Left, and since there are not enough voters for two right (or even right-of-center) parties in this Country, that makes it about Republican vs. Democrat. You want an ideologically pure party? Fine. Go join the LP, go join the Constitutional Party. Then you can be pure and have 100% of nothing.

Change the GOP if you want your ideas to have traction.

Then Rush better get to work finding a real Conservative to lead the GOP because my days of holding my nose and voting for the socialist-lite RINO are over!

A few more years of Fascist Democrat rule and the People will be ready to burn DC to the ground, salt the swamp it sits on, and move the seat of power to Kansas! Why risk losing that kind of righteous fury by electing some elitist RINO for a couple years?

But......we need to make sure that the party comes to us, changing their platforms to a more conservative message. I am not going to move to the left for party unity. I find it harder to take being screwed by a republican than if it were done more quickly by a democrat.

Rush is absolutely right. Put conservative candidates in the Republican party and get behind them and support them. Staying at home because people didn’t want to vote for Mc. Cain gave Zero a larger margin. I won’t say that is what elected Zero,But next time that could make the difference.
I didn’t want to vote for Mc. Cain either. but in the end I did because I knew what the alternative was/is.
Athird party run would split the anti Obama vote even more, and would re-elect him.
If Obama wins a second term, white working class people will have to leave the US.

I think he is too, just look at what happened during the Perot effort. While Perot got 19% that was a drain enough to give the election to Clinton.
That said, I think, as Rush has said, America is more a conservative nation overall, and what we see is more a reaction to the potential destruction to the Constitution which is the cement for this country. In addition, across the board, apart from the whack jobs on both the left and right extreme ends of the political parties, there is a jelling of the citizens of the nation against what we don't want to happen. I hope Glenn Beck does not get some notion for a third party. I hope he keeps pushing to awaken the population to the threat to our Republic and to keep that flame alive so that these idiot pols in DC get the message loud and clear that We The People are their employers they are not our rules, they are not the King, Queen and crown princesses, and dukes and lords.
