If “Nuke” Gingrich gets the RNC chair then we will never see conservatives return to the Republican Party.
You can’t put people in office that have repeatedly violated their principles. Ron Paul’s platform is the only way to go.

Agreed. And the proposed new Minority Whip replacement for Blunt is Cantor??? And Jack thinks Palin is unteachable????
Realize: anybody who goes to turn this around will have to be a pitbull who will be sacrificing their personal political career to fix the GOP. At the end, they won’t be in charge. And I see no one raising their hand to play ‘bad cop’ to get a ‘good cop’ in place. Positionally and temperamentally, Palin would be a good choice for ‘bad cop’. good cops? DeMint or Flake are pretty good on fiscal policy, but not much pizzazz.
Mike,
I think we should just let the GOP dissolve so we can have a real one party system.
Will people wake up then?
Then all the fight occurs in the primary. The state of Texas used to be that way when I first got here. It works, but a lot more is hidden under the covers.
A modern political party requires a tremendous amount of infrastructure; best to gut it, then rebuild it. It happened in the 60s; it can happen again, especially with the impetus of Democrats acting like idiots, which they will in pretty short order.
Mike: I don’t think the leaders in the GOP are just going to go away. We should pay them to join the Democrats and become that one party Lance refers to. haha
Cheaper than building a whole new party?
But something WILL happen! Guaranteed. Let’s just hope it’s not another civil war.
Aha! I knew Newt had to get *something* out of those ads with Pelosi…I had always just assumed they had something on him, never considering cross-party bribery.
