It’s simple- they join the new party. And once people see the way the GOP joins with the Democrats to destroy the fledgling new party, they will leave the Republican plantation in droves and join up with the new. Many Independents who identify as such out of disgust with the GOP will also join. Many Dems and currently unregistered voters will also come over when they see that someone is finally taking a stand against big government greed and corruption, regardless that they might disagree with some of the new platform.

Couldn’t.Be.Simpler

Once it happens, people will not believe that they allowed themselves to be snookered for so long.

Who knows and would they admit it?

It was repealed. Did all of those people leave?

Many state level Republicans are more conservative than their national counterparts, and the delegations are getting more conservative every election. I don’t think we want to jettison those gains. So how do we keep the state gains and stop the national betrayals?

I agree with you on a national level. But there are a lot of state level actions that are consistent with the GOP platform. How do we reconcile this?

It’s a complete waste of time for Conservatives to continue working through the Republican Party. Sooner for some, later for others, but it will be clear eventually.

I actually agree with Biden on this- it’s not our fathers’ GOP.

And I agree with the White House- it must be destroyed.

But it’s wrong to say that the GOP has surrendered. It has committed itself fully to advancing the agenda of the Left. This should be clear with the renewed assault via this new Amnesty bill. By the end of it, the GOP will have proven to be just as tyrannical as the Democrats and actually more so as this Amnesty would be more damaging than anything that came from the Pelosi/Reid 111th.

We need to to something about this, now.

As in the service industry, those that call in the work order get the bill. I don’t think you will find any on the Right calling this in. (Republicans, I don’t know.)

Republicans are okay with this as well. I can’t think of a single Republican who has spoken out forcefully against this, and the party as a whole has supported both this and repeal of DADT- either supported it vocally or implicitly by silence.
