Conservatives Set to "Dump GOP" in '06 Elections

The Post you are about to read was written back in November of 2005. You would think I wrote it yesterday!

But you would be wrong.

When I wrote this post, I decided I would hold it for a few days hoping that I might change my mind or, that I might see some glimmer of hope that the GOP had seen the error of it's ways and was about to harken back to it's roots, to the Conservative voters who put them in control of the House and Senate. So, I placed it in the "drafts" folder to wait and see.

No such luck.

Just this week, finally, someone at the top has begun to notice that we conservatives are more than just unhappy. We are ready to rebell and throw the '06 election to the Democrats.

They are correct.

The problem is, they are way behind the curve on this. We have been "fed up" for well over a year now, but we could not get the attention of the leadership of the party. Throwing the '06 election will, I repeat, will, get their attention. At the moment, the determination to allow the US House to fall into the hands of the Democrat party is a "fait accompli".

As you read the following post, think back to November of last year. We conservatives have not had a revelation, in a burst of light, or an epiphany of some sort. We have arrived at this position by means of astute observation. We have seen where our party is headed and we simply don't want to go there! And we won't.

So, get ready for the Democrats to regain control of the US House of Reprentatives this coming November. It will be a gift from the Conservative Republicans!

Continue to original post:

I sat here, before the computer screen, a few nights ago and shook my head in disbelief as I read how members of my own political party managed to effectively kill a bill in the US House of Representatives which would have reduced spending and opened ANWR for drilling.

Have they no shame? The GOP is headed for relegation to the backbenches again… and soon.

When we (the Republicans) won the Senate, and the Presidency, back in 2001, I told a Liberal friend of mine not to worry, the burden was now on us (The GOP) to perform, and at least, his party would not be catching the dickens for their failures.

Well, as it has turned out, The GOP has proven, beyond doubt, their inability to lead nationally. Our national Republican leadership is pathetic. Worst that weak. It is nearly non-existent!

I am in my mid-sixties and I have been a Republican since I was old enough to register to vote, the first time, at age 21. I have stood by the party through thick and thin, through good times, and bad, including the Nixon imbroglio. But, I simply have to call a spade a spade. My party, the Republican Party, needs to go back to “Leadership School” and learn the fundamentals of leadership.

The GOP has failed to relegate the RINOS to the backbenches and keep them out of any leadership positions… and… they have failed to isolate the moderates… such as John McCain.

The Republican Party used to be the “Conservative Party”. No more. The GOP is running a close second to the Liberal Democrats in Liberality.

It is time for a Conservative Party, made up of disenfranchised conservative voters, from both the Republican Party and the Democrat Party. Normally, I would not support a third party, but we only have one party now. The creation of a Conservative Party would give us a true two party system.

It is too late in the game to expect the GOP to turn the party around before the ’06 elections. As a result the GOP is in for a shellacking in one year from this month.(This coming November.)

The whipping will not be so much by the Democrats… who as a party, are totally vacant and have no clue… let alone any ideas on leading a country as conservative as the United States of America. But, Conservatives are going to stay away from the polls, in droves, and allow the Democrats to return to power in ’06.

We have tried everything else to get the attention of our Republican Party leaders and everything we have tried has failed. They are not listening to the party faithful. and they are not responding to our cries of distress at the way they are leading the GOP and… we have had it.

We conservatives had rather take a beating and have to experience a few years of living under Democrat control in order to purge our party of the “Blue Bloods” and the “Country Club Liberals” we have remaining in our party.

A purge is what we need… and that will take some political bloodletting.

We have been reluctant to take such drastic steps but our party leadership has forced our hand. We have no choice. Throwing the ‘06 election will be the last attempt to save our party.

Frankly, I have very little confidence that throwing the election in ’06 will have much effect on the elite in the GOP. As a result, I propose that we begin laying the foundation for the New Conservative Party as soon as possible.
