“I dare say we already have a third party.
"We have the liberal party, the GOP machine, and then we’ve got the Good Guys.”

Dear GOP,
You've pulled the football away from us for the last time. From now on, my default preference in ANY election is no longer Republican. I will vote for select individuals whom I think I can trust, not who feed me a line of B.S. and then back away when safely ensconced in office.
No yard signs. No contributions. No responding to polls. No personal campaigning among family and friends. No more holding my nose to vote for a moderate, RINO or 'the-lesser-of-two-evils'. I did that in an effort to avoid what I considered the worst-possible candidate for President ever foisted upon the country, and it failed twice. NEVER AGAIN. Be conservative and show sincere, healthy respect for the Constitution, and you have a chance to earn my vote. None others need reply.
I've never been a registered Republican, but as a conservative, that's the closest I could come to a party affiliation. NO MORE.
IF YOU THINK THE 'BASE' ABANDONED YOU IN THE 2012 ELECTIONS, YOU AIN'T SEEN NUTHIN' YET!
Sarah Palin has my support. Ted Cruz has my support and gratitude for his Herculean effort. A relative handful of others in the House and Senate get my support. That's about it.
The GOP’ers that voted for cloture are the same ones who ran up more than $17 Trillion in national debt and we the citizens have to pay. They are among the lowest form of human life.
Better late than never, I guess.
DEFUND the GOP!
me too. Echos my sediments exactly.
Totally agree.
The Repulsican party is dead.
Long live the conservative/Tea Party.
The problem is not the vessels. The problem is what is IN the vessels.
Don’t trust in “princes” even if they came from the Tea Party. Or to put it another way, by all means share the Tea, but don’t worship the Party.
Either we take over the party now or we leave.
I believe we can take it over.
So sad that you just figured that out.
So sad that you just figured that out.
JUST REMEMBER WHO GOT US HERE....THE RAT PARTY!
I would venture to say that there are hundreds of thousands of us who feel the same way as you do. Unfortunately, it seems as though there are millions of low-information (idiot) voters who, stupid and uninformed, outnumber us!
Let's roll.
Their biggest accomplishment is dragging Ted Cruz around in the dirt.
Welcome to the club.
Let me suggest a truck load of tar and feathers be delivered to the senate. Enough to cover 81 traitors.
MEGA DITTOS!
I just called RNC and told them that I was leaving the part and that today’s vote does not reflect my values.
I said, Goodby it was nice knowing you...
“...Echos my sediments exactly...”
Exactly. Sediments (really smelly ones) are the only things that should go to the RINO party of losers.
May they cease creating CO2. (Hey, that’ll help glow-bull “warming,” will it not?)
See, Republicans can still contribute to society.
I’m with ya.
Tried to call them, twice, and the automated system sent me to to consitutent services and it just rang and rang and rang. I’m guessing they are getting an earful from USa.
Some poster mentioned a new party called The Constitutional Party, I think that was it. I’m on board.
100% agree!
The RNC called for money, soon after the Cruz filibuster. They were looking for dummies who didn’t know the difference between Cruz and the Republicans. I told them that too, also demanded my name be taken off their list. In the future, I would be giving any donations to individual Senators or congressmen not to the party.
The GOP has spent the last 20 years kissing up to the media & corporations and they still hate them. The general public would never have been won over by the Democrats, the Republicans did it. Have you ever considered that Republican elected leaders actual hate conservative voters more than Democrats do.
I have been a Republican since I first voted in 1960. Old habits die hard, but I agree, it is probably time to go as they are human nothings Democrats lite!
Check us out sometime soon.
If you lived in Boehner's district, for example, would you vote for Boehner, the Dem, a 3rd party candidate with no chance of winning, or nobody?
Targeting the Dem would realistically mean voting for Boehner, since there's no 3rd party with sufficient strength at the moment.
I would not vote for Boehner, period. If the Dem wins, he was probably gonna win, anyway.
I will never again knowingly waste a vote on a proven RINO.
Good. Give em hell.
Nice rantity/vantity. But two things.
1. The GOP doens’t care about any of your points, because when the day is done...
2. You’ll still vote for the Repub.
Not another dime to the GOP Republican party...all money will now be sent to conservative causes. My support will extend to the Tea Party, Sarah Palin, Ted Cruz. I don’t want Democrats ever elected and that includes Democrat-lites.
In 1993 I knew we were going to become a police state. I was right.
In 2003 I declared myself to no longer be affiliated in any way with the Republicans, because they were merely renamed Democrats. I was right.
In 2005, I wrote “First we beat the Soviet Union. Then, we became them.” I was right.
Now I tell you this: No later than 2016, MAYbe out to 2018, American currency will collapse inasmuch as the debt load is unsustainable. America will then break apart into smaller regions.
Wanna bet against me?
The RNC has sent me four letters in the past few months to renew my membership and collect my dues, and each time I’ve ignored them. Let’s just say I’m in no hurry to re-up with those sorry people at this time.
It's never been more clear that BOTH parties are responsible for where we are, now. Occasional, true conservative Republicans have slowed down our country's move toward progressivism but by and large Republicans have played on the Democrat's team.
*Some assembly required.
bump
The brand Republican really means no more than Democrat now.
It's about individual conservative candidates now.
When will the rest of FR catch up?
I have been a Republican since I first voted in 1960.”
Looks like we joined this madness about the same time. Can’t do anything for my generation but I will do what I can to make sure that my grandsons have a decent country to grow up in. Began this process by changing from a Republican to an Independent this morning.
I had it when Romney was nominated.
The party is infested with liberals. I have a hard time trusting those who claim to be conservative. Even if they are, the liberals run things in the Republican Party. Because of that, real conservative candidates don’t have a chance within the Republican Party.
If any real conservatives are left in the party, they will get my vote only if they leave the party and form/join a truly conservative third party.
I totally agree with you. So very disappointed that our Tea Party candidate Senator Ron Johnson bit the hand that fed him, and turned on us and sided with the likes of Dingy Harry. I let him know what I think, and so did many others.
Please add your remarks too.

That ship has sailed. The GOP liberals have the positions of power and control and taking this rotting corpse over isn’t going to be allowed to happen anymore than a majority vote against cloture was going to be allowed to happen.
Senators Cruz, Lee, Paul, etc... the time is coming for choosing soon, do you want to go down with the RMS GOP or head for a new party, a new second party. The timing must be right and you must take a huge swath of your GOP conservatives with you to have an impact. As Reagan said this is a time for choosing.
I’ve had it, too. Registered (I) a few years back and will only vote based on a person’s support of my American views. The GOP means nothing to me. Cruz is a person that I would vote for despite his party affiliation. Anyone valuing their GOP or Democrat Party status more than their representative status of We the People means they are sellouts that will always go against us.
That would be a sucker bet.
Thank you for posting the RNC info. Just called, pressed “2” to be connected with the membership area, and respectfully requested to be removed from their call list and mailing lists, and explained that after todays actions by the old guard Republican’s that they no longer had my support.
I ended the call by asking that the fellow share my comments “up the line” to get the message to Party leaders that this is unacceptable.
You know what? It feels good.
I will only support those candidates that I feel represent my values and interests.
“Wanna bet against me?”
Nope.
Now we wonder, how will it go down? Peacefully? War? I cannot piece together a situation that allows it to happen peacefully.
