Republicans, Conservatives, and 3rd Parties

The fact that the Republicans had everything for 4 years and expanded government is disheartening, almost to the point of wanting to leaving the party. However, seeing what the Democrats have done when they have complete power made me realize that the Republicans at their worst are still better than the Democrats at their best. The Democrats are getting more unpopular by the week and will face crushing defeats in upcoming elections. The only thing that can stop this and give the left even more power is a divided conservative movement.

The right thing to do is not ditch the party and ensure conservatism's demise, but to change the Republican party. Third party conservatives should get inside the party and work to change the it themselves, and we need to invite Libertarians in as well. Although I don't agree with them on everything, most of them have a passion for shrinking government that Republicans could use.

Conservatives should also consider infiltrating the Democratic party as well, the Democratic Party has drifted so far left that moonbats are in charge of both houses of congress and the Presidency. We should run conservatives in Democratic primaries where a Conservative has a decent chance of winning. However, we should only support Conservative Democrats who can say no to their leadership.

In short, Conservatives should think beyond the Republican party, but Conservative 3rd parties will only hurt the Conservative movement.
