We've all seen calls for a third party (which would be disastrous I think, given the lack of success third parties have had since 1860) and countering calls for taking control of the Republican Party. But what has been distinctly missing is any idea of how to do either of these things.
I'm not going to bother about how to form a third party, as I think it would be at best a waste of time. Instead, I'm going to present an idea and a website that gives concrete instructions on how to start to take control of the Republican Party. Oh, they don't say "Republican Party," but you know that they don't mean the National Socialists (excuse me, the Democrats).
Wag The Dog 2010 begins to lay out the precinct concept of seizing the party from the bottom up. It differs from state to state, but usually all you need is 5-10 signatures from party members within your voting precinct to get on the primary ballot as a candidate for precinct official for your party. Once you become that official, you get to vote (generally, I'm sure it varies a bit from place to place) for the county party officials about a month later. Those county party officials in turn determine the state officials, etc.
The secret is, many precinct positions are vacant because no one is interested in getting on the ballot, and many others go to the same old folks every time for the same reason. If you're associated with a local tea party organization or anything like that, you can look into getting your people into precinct official positions and take over your county party organization.
Folks, this is what it will take to make the changes we all want to make. Go look at this website, join up if you're of a mind to, but take the ideas seriously and let's start working on actually making a change, not just talking about it!
“Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed, it has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.”

“The best argument against democracy is a five minute conversation with the average voter.”

I agree with him on both.
I don’t know if a wall is feasible or not.
If not then the army/national guard should patrol the entire length of the border.
*insert middle finger icon here*
Obviously, since you know nothing of me and blindly follow such a kook, you are much more liberal than I.
Get a life.
Is that all you’ve got, punk? What a disappointment. You gave your solemn oath for a document you don’t have a clue about. How impressive. /s
You and your fellow braindead morons may have the Republican party. I will enjoy sitting back watching as you fecal wonders finish destroying it.
You deserve Obama because that is what you are ensuring will remain in power.
Get a clue, the country rejected Paul hands down.
What is funniest is seeing you cretins falling for and believing your own lies.
Don't think for a minute you have sole conservatorship of the constitution. You're too stupid to realize this is 2009, not 1913.
Then again, what good will the constitution do you morons when you've welcomed the terrorists into the country with open arms. Or, did you forget your lord and master is opposed to the very means that recently caught those planning to do even you harm.
You all do whiny Ron Paul proud in following Neville Chamberlain into oblivion.
You Paulistinian bigots sure now how to attract people to your cause.
What losers!
Since you're too fence post stupid to answer with anything but ad-hominems you leave me with little else to do but respond in kind. Now take that middle finger of yours and stick it back in your arse where you can stimulate your brain.
go away little boy, the adults are talking.
Adult? Which post of yours fits that profile? STFU.
Oh yes, last I heard, those borders are also within states. Relying solely on the feds, while complaining about the feds is a just a tad hypocritcal, don’t you think? [sic] - DakotaRed
Brain dead.
Total deluded idiot.
Go smoke another doobey
The mind-reading genius strikes again. Go smell your finger, loser.
You really are a pompous ass.
Go try to impress little girls because you sure don’t impress me with your childish rants.
You’re worse than a pompous ass. You’re an empty-headed fool. Not one post of yours rises above the grade school level. Not one. Every one a projection of your own lack of substance. You’re a real yawner.
