I agree with everything except one: I DO "give a crap" what happens to the GOP. We, with the acquiescence, even cheerleading, of "conservative" media and many on FR, saw the Republican dismantling of the revolution in 1994. Those who have worked and donated for 30 or 40 years have been betrayed. We know Democrats do that; we didn't think Republicans would, but we should have known from Bush, Sr. what would happen.

No, I "give a crap" because even after the betrayal and earned electoral catastrophe, we have Steele as RNC chairman, leading candidates Romney and Huckleberry, and McCain as a major spokesman.

They don't learn--or refuse to give up power--so the only first step in any type of recovery for freedom, for the USA, for our society is the total destruction of the Republican Party.

I have never voted (since 1968), and will never vote, for a Democrat. But I WILL either skip a race (if there are none but Ds and Rs) or vote only for those third-party candidates whose same goal is that destruction.

Not that I need to but you are exchanging with one such person. I both worked and donated many times for and to candidates of the GOP. Of course that is when I was one of the quenticential Republican Uberalles followers.

Those days have been over for 12 years now as I vote as a non-aligned citizen (sorta like George Washington extolled us all to do) and donate to candidates of my choice directly.

Again, I really without rancor, could care less about the Republican Party!

And the owner of this domain has made it clear that this is not an organ for the GOP - to the contrary, I am guessing he and I would agree on more than you and I, perhaps.

I don't take issue with those who still owe their souls, by choice of course, to the GOP, but I damned sure get a bit testy when they take issue with me for the stand I have taken.

Party loyalists efforts would be much more receptive if they weren't, for the most part filled with disdain and calumny towards the very people the GOP has always claimed was it's base. But of course talk is cheap.

It will interesting to see who the National Committee selects, via the insane primary process to be the next GOP standard bearer. To be sure I won't have a say in the process, but that is my choice. The game is rigged and I don't play rigged games.
