Definitely agree.

Beck is a far more emotion driven type of person than Levin, who is driven by logic IMO.

I am a person who is more driven by emotion at times than I am by logic, however, I agree with Levin.

One really wants to stay with the GOP until there just is no choice but to leave, because to attempt to form another party is likely going to end in failure.

The wise thing to do is to remain in the party and try to retake it for conservatism from within. Of course, it is extremely frustrating to see the leaders of the GOP just toss away everything that they were given, and it does unfortunately show that the GOP is part of the problem, and not part of the solution.

Even seeing that, I am still unsure what the proper step to take is. I’m just rather angry ;/

extremely so, ready to bolt the GOP/e, (almost) back to the bare-bones US Constitution.
meaning repeal the 13, 16 & 17 Adm't. to the US Constitution amongst other things.

I quit sending the Republican Party any money several years ago, I just send money to individual candidates. With my few dollars they probably didn’t miss it, but if big bucks did...

“The wise thing to do is to remain in the party and try to retake it for conservatism from within.”

While that may be conventional wisdom, it may be time to consider other options. The limo Repubs seem to squash all challengers. They are fully entrenched and fully compromised. They seem to have relegated the Tea Party to outside observer status. They are not welcome in the club. So we’ll get Jebbush vs. the Tea Party rather than Jebbush vs. Clinton or Warren or whatever. The repubs/conservatives are fractionalized, and in-fighting once again puts a stinking dem in the white house (can’t seem to capitalize that while O is squatting there).

And my hypothetical is purely an example based on what the drive-by media is trying to force-feed us as the ONLY possible Repub candidate.

The time between primary and election, or convention and election are the only times anyone should be siding with the GOP. That’s the way Mark Levin seems to roll along with his opinions on the show as well.
