Let's take back GOP
Some suggest conservatives leave the Republican Party.
Poor idea!
Let's take back the party and let the liberal Republicans set up a third party. They'd probably draw some lukewarm Democrats to their party.
Sadly, the Democrats have a solid base of people who are going to vote Democrat regardless. They don't know what socialism is or what it will do to our country. They just vote straight Democrat.
Let's get those who support what the Republican Party used to stand for to take the party back — low taxes, small government, pro-life, gun rights, freedom of speech and controlled spending. A sure way to keep the Democrats in power is for conservatives to set up a third party.
