Oh yes. The GOP can be reformed from within. Just like this!
Just incredible that people still spout that nonsense.
This is actually a good thing. Carroll was installed as chair as a spite move by the old SCC to stick it to the new one. Carroll should have stayed acting chair and not let him be used as a tool for the agenda of other people.
This gets the focus back to organizing, raising money and winning elections, not who can style and profile the best pose as the purest conservative.
I think Mississippi brought many of us a long way down reality road. I had thought we needed to try the conservative version of insurgency from inside the party, to see how that might work.
Mississippi sure cleared that up for me.
Now that I look around HERE and there, it’s the voter shills for the Establishment who are the dead weight pulling us down. They are self made hostages to the numbers, enough to take the senate, still willing to vote for Cochran and all the other Cochrans’ out there no matter how liberal they are, or how corrupt.
I am more than ready to be rid of them. Voters who cast a bargain vote for the devil are not my idea of a conservative allignment.
The Iowa thing that ousted the gains made by Libertarians has hit Rand Paul like Mississippi hit us. What will he say now? Will he go Libertarian straight up now?
Political Parties are full of humans. Humans are not perfect.
If we can't win a majority in our own Party, how do we win on a General Election ballot?
And YES, we do need to clean up the election rules in Mississippi and in other places. However, there is NO WAY that a 3rd Party will “fix” any of the problems Conservatives face on a nation-wide basis.
Maybe in a few States a 3rd Party challenge or a write in challenge would make sense, but NOT nationwide. All you will do is surrender the process to the Liberals. Again, you have NO solutions. You might even be a Democrat. All you know how to do is trash everybody who tries to do much of anything.
