Forming new party? Stay in the Rep party?

[WesSeid]

I only go at this so harshly because we're going to fracture ourselves into two minorities if we can't unite under the GOP banner. If you really hate these people as much as you say you do then you'll stay in the GOP- the one place they clearly don't want any of us.

Ron Paul isn't on the ballot this election, and a write-in won't do much if anything. What's the plan for this election?

Forming a new party is not the answer, the answer is this:

Ironically, they read this aloud once a year in Congress.

That depends. They're only a massive waste of time and money if the goal is to win elections.

As a tool for organization and maintaining cohesion, in addition to some amount of education, I think it does serve a useful purpose.

How does it serve that purpose any better than being a sub-party within one of the major parties?

Tell me why I should stay.

Because the establishment GOP very, *very* much does not want you to stay.
Because the establishment GOP would be *absolutely delighted* to see as many of us as possible just "go away."

If that's not good enough to persuade you, then ... I don't know what else to say.

We need to strengthen third parties any way we can.

And GJ isn't on the OK ballot anymore:

I believe this is the third time we've heard something different.

I don't see how the GOP can survive without all of us, and it makes me smile.
