I agree, Palin is fighting to take the GOP party and to Reaganize it.
The problem is that even if She or anyone else gets a bunch of actual Conservs in there, the very fabric of the party is riddled with libs, yes men and moderates at the aide/worker level.
Now I admit that today is a bit late to start a party for Nov., but in all honesty, emotional attachment of lifelong GOP voting aside, what happens hypothetically we get enough TEA in the GOP to ‘claim it’?
It’s most likely that the people at the structure level will not be on board with the new program and will do everything possible to get the old guard back into power. That’s just reality.
So a new party post 2012 is IMO a lot better for both us and America. It will be fighting against a destroyed Dem party and a greatly weakened GOP. Thus, no better time to step up and grab the ring. And it will have 1-1/2 and 3-1/2 years respectively to make or break it. But to succeed either way, as a new party or a refabbed GOP, the rot at low/mid levels has to be tosses out with the rot at the top levels. All connections and ‘favors’ to and from the past must be eliminated.
Yup. Why reinvent the wheel? For years Rush has said how stupid it would be to go to a third-party and watch 1992 happen all over again. The Republican Party has to be rebuilt from within. An sitting on one's ass and wishing on a star ain't going to make it happen.
