What say you?
I love the point about donating to the candidate, not the party. Money talks. We can change the Republican party but it will have to be in the primaries... that's the hard part. I think a true Conservative, who could effectively gets his or her ideas across (like Reagan) would win a presidential election. They just have to get past all the republican moderates, aka the socialist-lite Republicans, in the primaries.
Yes it does! And there's absolutely no reason to give money to the RNC. It's the candidate we want to win, not the party. The "moderates" are who the party favors. So giving money to the party ends up helping elect people we don't want.
The key point I was trying to make here, and I hope it comes across, is that it is up to us - "we the people" - not the party. We have different goals, hopes, and desires than the party itself. It can be commandeered, but conservatives are going to have to change their mind-set to do so.
