“Infighting” is what is going to save our country; and if we so-called “conservatives” (really classical liberals) do not win our “infight” then we MUST MUST MUST form a powerful and winning third party. We are the largest block of voters in this country and we do not have any representation worth mentioning. What we want, what we vote for, is a party of Ted Cruz-types. Just think how different our country would be with the house controlled by Ted Cruzes and a near-majority of Ted Cruzes in the senate. This is what we must fight for, first by getting these candidates on the ballot (the “infight”) and then win the elections. There is no point in winning elections with Lindsey Grahams. The enemy is not the Dems, it is the socialists, whether they have an “R” or a “D” after their names. I'm all for “infighting” and not getting along, let's have a great big “infight,” lets not give into those who think that not being democrats is enough, when there is no difference between liberal progressive/socialist republicans is so slight as to be indistinguishable in practice. Right now, grass roots, let us not focus on the democrats, lets instead focus and FIGHT the compromisers who accept the status quo, let us try try try to persuade people in our party that it is a foolish destructive desire to give up on the first fight that needs to be won. We need to do however much fighting we need to do to achieve our goal, a political party that stands up to the dems on every single point, never giving an inch on anything. The truth is, right now our GOP congresscriters have enough power to put Obama and cohorts on the defensive, they lack determination and conviction. So my friend you are wrong, our first fight is to get these weakings, these milquetoasts, these compromisers, and get-alongers out of power, and off the ballot, and run candidates who are willing to fight even if sometimes those who are willing to fight and risk their careers are not always as refined as we like, even if they do misspeak occasionally, even if they sometimes floundered a bit in their youth, even if they may possess an eccentric idea or two.

Your proposed strategy just guarantees a PERMANENT Dem/socialist control of Congress and the country. Is that your objective? The Dems laugh all the way to power at the GOP infighting.

Please explain why shouldn’t conservatives strive to ensure a GOP majority FIRST, as the Dems are the real enemy, then when we have a veto proof majority, replace the “RINO” types one by one, as long as it doesn’t jeopardize the Republican majority?
