Seriously if you look and learn from history and from our Founding Fathers.... and what true conservatism stands for ... and "the Republican Party" stood for ... there is NO reason to start a third party. Ron is completely correct! The NEO-CONS have lost their way!there are many people who cannot support the republican party. Ron Paul is committed to the republican party. This does create a certain challenge. For instance I just posted this on another thread and then read the new message from Ron Paul.........
"Personally, I think the Ron Paul Revolution should be the foundation for a new party!! It should draw from the other freedom and liberty parties/movements, those who are sympathetic to and will support what RP political ideology. The RPR needs to establish itself architecturally as an organization. It needs to evolve further. Organically. It need not assume an old form (mechanical). It need not be hierarchical or have one center.
That would probably be the most difficult task....creating a new (grass roots) organization (from the ground up) based on liberty and freedom . In my mind that means a dynamic and open system. I think more and more of us should start educating ourselves and start thinking out of the box on how to do this."
IMO Another element has been added to the challenge. How to accomplish the above without competing with /diminishing what Ron Paul wants to accomplish.
We do not vote in our primary here in New Mexico until June 3rd. We will be voting for Ron Paul. Please do not abandon us until at least then or better yet not until after the convention...
i say we keep this forum or some other forum up for the revolution
Even though I have been a lifelong Republican. I was thinking the same thing. Our morals, ideas and thoughts (as Paulites) are not what the party is doing lately.
I almost want another party, a Freedom party. But it would be so hard to get elected to any postion as a 3rd party. Liberterians aren't even automatically on the presidential ballot on half the states in this country...!
So my idea would be this, since the Republicans are loosing voters faster than anything. We are now a new wing of the Republican party. We take more and more voters from other parties, and end up taking control of this party...and steering it back where it belongs...
I'm not good with snappy namess, but we need a name to describe us.
It's embarresing to say I am a Republican with McCain and the other War Lords being the current face of this party..
SOrry i think i needed to vent a lil lol
I'm 34.. So I hope I'll be in it for at least another 40 good years or so.. Is that long enough?
