If the conservatives do not do something to increase their voting base they will get slaughtered if Hillary gets the nomination

Conservatives are the voting base it's just the Republican establishment would rather behave like a bunch of Democrats and the conservatives are sitting home because the GOP have abandoned principle and only in the interest of votes and power. A sad bit of irony they are becoming the Democratic party indeed.

But you leftists would prefer that? To have a single party system like the Soviet fucking Union. Yeah, no thanks Vladimir there needs to be other opposing parties to get the Puto--er democrats in check.

The time of a two party system is past. Time for a third party and maybe a fourth...

Yeah. That's why President Romney was elected by such a wide margin.

the major differences are the position on social issues , but then both groups tend to be all over the map

Can you document that Tea Partiers are conservative on social issues like abortion and marriage? And if some Tea Partiers are and others arent then you cannot use social issues to distinguish the Tea Party from libertarianism. A Tea Partier is as likely as not to be a libertarian. People online who claim to be Tea Partiers are also likely to be libertarians for the simple fact that libertarians are concentrated on the net far out of proportion to their numbers in the real world.

ABC News this morning has a story online about the GOPs top 5 priorities.

What about:

1. Stop arguing with Obama; he won, you didnt;
2. Dump the Tea Party;
3. Admit that Reaganomics dont work;
4. Return to your socially conservative, pro-family base;
5. Nominate someone other than a rich, old, white man?

1) Yes he won.

2) Enlist even more into the Tea Parties.

3) Return to Reaganomics. It saved us once after 'Jimma's' disastrous administration. It could save us again after this dolt's reign.

4) Absolutely.

5) Nominate a Tea Party Conservative. We have had it with Republocrats. They have engendered a bosom buddy relationship with the Dumbocrats and helped lead us down the path to ruination.

Neither. But I strongly suspect you are, on both counts.

Delusional. The GOP is fast ceasing to be a force in national politics. Your libertarian fringe has dug a grave and pulled your party in behind it.

I would agree about the current GOP who are Republocrats. However, the Tea Parties are gathering steam and will one day remove all the Establishment Republocrats. Then we shall experience the resurgence of a Constitutional Republic, as we were founded.

What the Tea Party really wants is called a plutocracy.

You really are dense. Check your dictionary, if you possess one, for the definition of plutocracy. Then, if you are successful, google Tea Party and ascertain their platform and beliefs, if you can assimilate that into your limited cognizant capabilities.
