So should we all join the Constitution Party, or start a new party from scratch?
The Whig Party dissolved in the 1850s, and the Republican Party rose at the same time to become a major party.
Other parties in history have gone out of existence, such as the Federalist party, in the early days of American history.
While there have been 2 major parties for most of our history, the 2 parties have not always been today’s Democrats and Republicans.
Could we start a Free Republic Party, dedicated to the conservative principles and values we all hold to? How do we go about doing that, as far as getting on election ballots in various states, so that we would really have an impact?
How do we avoid being slotted as a fringe party, such as Libertarians are? Libertarians are on the ballot in many states, but have only won a handful of lower level elections such as a few state legislative seats.
Points to ponder, as to how to challenge the established two party system we have. The Republicans have disappointed many of us on various issues, but, realistically, it would be a major effort to replace the Republican party.
I’ve been wanting a new party for decades - not anything national like we have now, say the current GOPe socialist party or like the democrat communist party. A party that is rooted by states in control, much like a loosely ‘Convention of States’ would look like whereas the feds would be responsible to the states rather than the other way around. Trim the budget immediately by a couple $trillion, not give $billions to pet projects and other countries, not even $millions, ever. Restore freedoms. In short, stop redistribution of wealth of what the feds do now - and they have to borrow $trillions to do it.
A boy can dream.
It is delusional and cowardly to abandon the fight for control of the republican party.
Doing so is surrender to the infiltrators, who continue to gain resources because people are STUPID enough not to realize they are helping the infiltrators accomplish EXACTLY what the infiltrators hoped to accomplish.
They use the same strategy to take control of, destroy the name brand, and splinter up religious demonimnations, knowing that most conservatives are too polite to fight and too naive to realize it is an intentional strategy.
If you are so cowardly to abandon the fight for the republican party, you are DELUSIONAL to think you are going to go make any difference in some new party other than wekening the conservative vote inside the GOP and splitting the conservative vote in general elections... handing easy victories to the left.
The correct strategy is to identify and oppose the RINOs and educate the conservatives who fall for leftist strategies so we can have a strong, unified party at the extreme cost of eternal vigilence.
Please forgive my intentionally provocative candor.
As I see it the GOP base is now made up of three small groups who even when combined into a core base is still too small to maintain a viable political party in a 2 party system.
People, this is not the base of a strong viable party.
