		<description><![CDATA[I summed it up in my July 22, 2013 blog:

&quot;Those controlling the money that goes to the Republican party have created a system where there are few individuals with the courage to do the right thing.

The Party itself has made some truly stupid errors, such as not disputing their &quot;losses&quot; on Nov. 6 2012 when the numbers in state after state were so badly tampered with. 

Alienating their base, who have no desire to be democrats/InterNational  Socialists, is by far the most stupid thing they have done. It&#039;s like they&#039;ve  forgotten that there is a public that is divided into moral and immoral halves and the half that they used to represent was the moral half. 

How many elections have to be lost before Republicans quit trying to act like Democrats? From Bob Dole&#039;s loss to the last few elections (except the 2012 election), it&#039;s been consistent: act like a Democrat and you are going to lose.

The Republican leadership is mostly acting like idiots. They ignore their constituents and reach out to people who won&#039;t vote for them, they
 ignore obvious lawbreaking in the last election, and so on.

A second problem with most &quot;conservatives&quot; is that they have insulated themselves from their constituents. It was refreshing that Romney actually had a physical address to send letters to.

Try contacting Sarah Palin&#039;s office. Good luck unless you are media or a rich donor. The same with most other Republicans except Romney. The same with talk show hosts. For example, I&#039;ve tried to send books to conservative talk show hosts, but with no physical address, it can&#039;t be done. Nor will they even bother to answer if asked for one to send a book. 

When I take the time to send a letter to my local Republican House of
 Representative member, Greg Walden, I don&#039;t even get a form letter in 
return. Not even when I mentioned in a letter that I&#039;d been turned down 
for more than 1500 jobs because I was white and male, using my own 
experience to call out Obama&#039;s executive order that will make agencies 
essentially white-male-free. 

Both the politicos and the radio pundits ignore their listeners and 
supporters and it&#039;s a foolish policy. What happens during those frequent
 times when something really important comes up, but they can&#039;t be 
contacted? They find out the story much later. It&#039;s happened frequently.

For example, when I wrote up an Op-Ed about the muslim brotherhood at
 the start of the Arab &quot;Spring&quot; it was ignored. WND would have been 
several months ahead of the curve if they&#039;d published it. WND and other 
newspapers used to publish my Op-eds, then quit without notice. There 
was no logical reason for it, but it&#039;s part of the new censorship, and 
Republicans are leading the way.

Since republicans in office are now acting like Democrats, it really 
is time to start a new party, before next year&#039;s elections.&quot;

		<description><![CDATA[I agree with you.  The GOP should be able to attract voters of all races - anyone who wants to be free.  My objection to the amnesty is based on culture, not race - more third-world immigrants will continue to vote 70% Democratic no matter how desperately clowns like Priebus try to pander to them, because they love Big Government, and we can&#039;t compete with the Democrats on that, nor should we want to.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#039;s all about money, I keep getting phone calls over and over asking for donations for the Republican Party and I tell them to go to hell. I am sick and tired of donating money to people that do not care about us. Either we change this leadership or we get a third party and take it over ourselves. I keep hearing that a third party would harm our chances of electing a candidate, but I think we are doing just that with no help at all.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Historically, and not so far back, the GOP was the big-tent rainbow party of many colors. The Democrats were the whites-only party, and they meant it 100%. The Dems have artificially painted the GOP as what they used to be. After all, never forget that the Dems supported slavery en masse, they supported segregation, and they opposed the civil rights movement, en masse. The GOP was the party that included and welcomed everyone. They still do. But the Dems&#039; propaganda creating a false narrative about the GOP has been 100% successful. Conservatives in America won&#039;t succeed, whatever party they rally to, until this false narrative is exposed. Its first manifestation in popular culture was Norman Lear&#039;s multiple TV series, All in the Family especially, where Archie &#039;Bunker&#039; became synonymous with the new, false conservative -- reactionary, bigoted, excluding, Christian, capitalist, pro-military ... It was a cultural coup that changed everything, and which the right is still fighting.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Professor Ellis has eloquently expressed the biggest weakness of the Republican Party under the Obama regime. The Speaker is no match for Obama or even a lesser weasel and liar. The Republicans selected a mediocrity as Speaker and two dull mediocrities in McCain and Romney to run against Obama in 2008 and 2012. Among other things, such pathetic judgement suggests that they do not have a clue about how dire the nation&#039;s fiscal and economic conditions are or they would not offer mediocrities to run for major political offices. They continue to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory and then say &quot;we fought a good fight, but lost&quot;. MORONS!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The GOP, along with the Dhimmicrats, is the enemy of the American people. Which is why under GWB they grew government like there were no tomorrows and also why they are lying to the American people about the scourge of Islam, while at the same time also allowing millions of Muslim stealth jihadists to migrate into America. 

Conservatives and patriots must form a new political party to replace the turncoat Republican Party]]></description>

Stop listening to the elite GOP media too, that will be a start America (yes, that means Fox News with Carl Rove &amp; the rest of the progressive Republican talking heads).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are too many people like you - people who so fear an imaginary &quot;theocracy&quot; they think Social Conservatives wish to enact that they have failed to support the only viable alternative to the totalitarian Left, that is, the Republican Party.  At this point, the GOP is poised to self-destruct, but if people like you had given us your support in the last election, we might have won it.


There are too many people like you - but not enough that you could form a viable political alternative.  Conservatives are not going to join you - so instead, join with us to stop the Democrats, or live under the absolute rule of men like Barry Hussein Obama.  Which do you prefer?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The problem with your plan is that there is no &quot;Galt&#039;s Gulch&quot; in reality - the reach of the Federal leviathan is everywhere, which is why the Left has fought so hard to Federalize entitlement programs - if they existed only at the State level, they would be limited because productive people would leave when taxes for welfare became excessive, or when health care was socialized as it has been in Taxachusetts.


Rand didn&#039;t offer a solution in &lt;i&gt;Atlas Shrugged&lt;/i&gt;, but I will suggest that if we can no longer win a national election because the game has been so rigged against us, secession is the answer.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think you&#039;re mistaken - &lt;i&gt;Conservative&lt;/i&gt; Republicans recognize and respect Palin.  No doubt the Establishment/RINO types don&#039;t like her, and the Left hates her.  I&#039;m not sure that Palin should be our leader, however - independent voters might not be ready for a woman President, and the fact that she didn&#039;t complete her term as Governor could easily be used against her in another campaign.


She might make a good Secretary of the Interior, if we could just find someone to win the Presidency.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I understand your feelings - I&#039;ll bolt the GOP myself if they nominate Jeb Bush or Chris Christie - but the sad truth is Romney was the best candidate we had for 2012.  He was a good man, but either he or his managers decided to wage an un-ideological campaign when one was needed most, against the radical Obama.


Help us find and nominate a true Conservative for 2016, and stick around to vote for him.]]></description>
