They’re very well aware, they don’t care.

that’s my 2¢

in most abusive relationships, each has their personal breaking point

When the GOP started marginalizing the Tea Party that was the last straw for me.

The GOP platform is nothing but a thin coat of paint smeared on an increasingly left wing party.

The reply:

“I feel your pain, sweetie, I do. However, big business is who pays us the bucks that matter (have you noticed how many congress people come in relatively poor and leave very rich?).

Also, there’s this database, you see, and . . . “

Why is this categorized a “Front Page News”? Looks like an opinion to me.

As I see it, conservatives, libertarians, and conservative-leaning independents have three choices:

1. Continue to hope the GOP will come to adopt and fight for traditional, conservative values and candidates.

2. Work together to take control of the GOP and it’s resources and change the direction of the Party.

3. Leave and form a third party which will take years to develop sufficient size, scope, and resources to be able to have significant impact.

"Mark my words, you can either drop the insane idea of amnesty for the illegal invaders or you can destroy the party - It’s your choice."

The GOP leadership has been bought off or are already working for the Left. They do not care if the GOP is made a permanent minority party. Their nests have already been feathered and they like playing the Potemkin Village opposition. They are they enemy and they need to be kicked to the curb.

We don’t need a third party.

We need a second party.

I think Rush finally nailed it yesterday: the GOPe would rather lose huge, even risk destroying any hopes they have of getting power for the next 10 years, if they can in the process eliminate the Tea Party/conservative wing once and for all.

Exactly the opposite will happen, as it did to the Whigs: the more moderate of the two will die, and the side that is closer to the principles that the people want will survive.

I’m not going anywhere. The GOP leadership is sadly mistaken if they can think they can sell out American citizens to the highest bidder and the opposition to it will just melt away. We need to be vocal and get right in their faces about it. That is the only way GOP who don’t pay much attention will know about stuff like the vet pay cut. The 2016 primaries are going to be very interesting!

However, I do think we need a block of (I) conservatives in the House. That’s about only thing that will put some real fear in the Cantor type corportists.

I’m conservative, a Washington-Jefferson conservative - an America first, no foreign entangling alliances conservative. Both parties run world entangling, trade deficit candidates. I vote Third. There is usually a good one there.

I registered as an independent about 40 years ago. I’ve made few enough really good decisions in my life but that’s one of them.
One can always vote as one pleases but the entire notion of professing loyalty ahead of seeing a candidate always struck me something i was not prepared to do.
I pulled the lever for 3rd party candidates like Perot in my time. I intend to do so at any point in the future when any 3rd party candidate speaks with a voice of reason.
No party owns my vote. Only a candidate can do that.

We did not want Obamacare, and you Neo-Democrat RINOs gave it to us anyway, and we are the worse for it.

We DO want y’all to enforce existing Federal Border Laws.

WE DO NOT WANT IMMIGRATION REFORM ! Y’all gave us that in 1986, and we are the worse for it!

Now y’all say that “we need to cave in this year to Obama on Immigration Reform.” Why this perversion to betray us!?

This is the same GEE OH PEE pablum that you Neo-Democrat RINOs have been always been feeding to the gullible, low information voters.

McCain, McConnell, Cornyn, Boehner, Cantor, and Ryan are always “waiting for massive support from the Public” before they even consider doing a pitched battle with the enemy.

The “enemy” is y’a’ll caving in to Obama! Just enforce existing Border Laws!

Y’all go on TV to publicly beat y’alls chests, and then “reach across the aisle to y’alls good friends in order to get something done.”

You Neo-Democrat RINOs will never lead, will always wait for a groundswell of Public discontent before risking incurring the wrath of their most dreaded enemy: The Leftstream Media.

Note to all the Congressional RINO leaders: We gave y’all in 2010 what y’all said y’all were waiting for - - - - The Massive TEA Party Rebellion, and y’all fought us every step of the way, and are fighting us now more than ever!

We gave y’all the support that y’all asked for and y’all betrayed us!

Betray us once, shame on you. Betray us twice, shame on us!

LEAD, OR GET OUT OF OUR WAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BTW, we have long memories, and just so y’all know, RINO SEASON IS NOW OPEN AND THERE ARE NO BAG LIMITS !

George Washington, in his farewell address, warned of exactly our current situation.

It’s Uniparty now.

Conservatism in the GOP is dead, except for a few poor schmucks attempting the impossible.

Only a real, energetic, boots-in-the-mud groundswell will change our situation. And time’s running out.

They don’t care.

They want the cheap (slave in some cases) labor. They don’t care about conservatives, because in their world view they don’t matter.

Oh YES, Mr. Obama, since the country isn't going down the crapper fast enough, let us help you add 11 to 20 MILLION new DemonRAT voters to the rolls. Thank you, sir, may we have another?
