After the victories in 2006 in the House and Senate and in 2008 of the Presidency by the Democrats, the Republican Party was in shambles. The GOP's failures could be attributed to it leaving the ideals of it's base behind. They had become enamored with the seduction of that which we call, Washington. Republicans were drunk with power, they thought to control Government, but found that it was they who conformed to it's norms.
American Exceptionalism was to take a back seat as the Republicans began a new phase which they called 'Compassionate Conservatism'. This was a recipe for failure from the start. Conservatism teaches that the individual is the foundation from which this country gets it's power, not from a Government that is benevolent towards their care. This just caused the Democrats to become embolden and begin to go further towards their base on the far Left.
There is alot of talk that the Republicans are either a dead Party or that they are failing because they are too similar to their Leftist opponents in the Democrats. There are many who say that there is no longer any differences with the Parties.

Conservatives are now faced with the option of trying to repair the Republican Party or starting a new one. The later choice will certainly spell doom for this country as all opposition to what the Marxists of the Democrat Party want to do to this country. They have shown their true colors now because they believe that after eighty years of slowly trying to bring about the decay of our society they are now in a position to dictate to the country what they believe. Already, many of the programs that they have placed on us are going to still be paid by our grandchildren, with small benefits to them. Is generational theft a crime? It should be, because of what we are doing to our future generations. If there is nobody standing now to stop them then they will just roll right over us.
This is a good conversation that Rush Limbaugh had about the subject of a third party in our country, today:
Get Real! Cut the Third Party Crap: The Two Parties Are Not the Same
December 1, 2009
BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
"RUSH: Richard in Atlanta. We're going to start with you. It's great to have you with us today on the EIB Network.
CALLER: It is an awesome honor and privilege to speak with you, Mr. Limbaugh.
RUSH: Thank you, sir.
CALLER: I've been listening to you since 1990. I've been conservative my whole life. I have a 21-year-old lance corporal son in the Marine Corps. I am very, very distressed about our commander-in-chief. I have no confidence in him, and he has none, either. He was sent to Ramadi last year. He spent seven months in Iraq last year. In January he's set for another deployment, but he doesn't know whether he's going to Afghanistan or not. And we just have no confidence in this man. We have no confidence in his leadership abilities. We don't have confidence in his decision-making. You know, I'm kind of at an end of my rope here with some of this conservative ideas and conservative implementation of this country -- and you have to excuse me. I'm very nervous. I've been listening to you for years, and it's an honor speaking to you.
RUSH: Well, I appreciate it. I'd be nervous speaking to me, too. (sigh) Thankfully, I don't talk to myself, that I know of. But if I did, I would be nervous. Well, you might be interested in knowing this. Your 21-year-old son is a Marine -- and another leak has just come out (I think it's the Washington Post; maybe it's the New York Times; I just saw it) -- and they're going to expedite the deployment. The first wave of Marines will arrive around Christmastime and this 30,000 deployment he hopes to have completed in six months.
CALLER: Yes, I read that on Drudge Report today.
RUSH: Yeah. It's on the Drudge Report?
CALLER: Yes. They were saying, an article detailing some of that. His deployment is set for January 18th. His deployment was already set about six months ago. But, you know, I just have no confidence in our leadership if he goes to Afghanistan.
RUSH: Why not?
CALLER: Why not? Look at the examples they have set for the last 11 months, even going back further. To me there's no difference anymore between a Republican and a Democrat. There are conservatives and liberals. But I see nothing that distinguishes the two parties from each other anymore.
RUSH: Well, wait, wait, wait.
CALLER: I'm very frustrated by that.
RUSH: Wait just a second, now.
CALLER: Sure.
RUSH: (sigh) That's a wave that's starting out there that we're going to have to try to nip in the bud. What you're saying, I think, is all politicians are the same, whether they're Republicans or Democrats. And I know the Republican Party has let a lot of people down by not advocating conservatism or implementing it as they campaigned on. But I don't think that there's a Republican out there that would propose any of the Obama agenda. I don't think there's a Republican out there that would have suggested the way to get out of the recession is to do what Obama did. I mean, there are clear differences between liberals and even moderates Republicans. RINO Republicans are a different thing altogether. The problem politically here is the war within the Republican Party over who is going to dominate it and lead it. But when I hear you say that there's no difference in the two parties, you're being set up for this third party stuff. The guaranteed outcome of that is Democrat power in perpetuity. People are just sadly mistaken if they think a third party is the way to battle what's going on here with the Obama administration and his policies."
"RUSH: While I have your attention: third party. This third-party stuff has got to stop, folks, unless you are for a third party for the Democrats. I'm all for Ralph Nader running again. I'd love for Howard Dean to get fed up or some other Democrat to get fed up with Obama and I'd love for a third party of Democrats and liberals to establish itself. I want all kinds of liberals to line and up run in third parties. That's how we weaken their side. As for our side, the focus must be to take back the Republican Party. That's the way you win. You can draw attention to yourself by denouncing both parties at the same time, and you can think that you're relating to a whole lot of people or being disabused and forgotten about, but you do a grave disservice in doing so because you're never going to win anything. You're going to guarantee Democrat victory in perpetuity. We need a strong conservative movement that takes back the Republican Party and then we have a strong Republican Party. It's hard work but it is happening.
There is a conservative ascendancy here. Why in the world waste what is happening here with this new conservative ascendance and weaken it and split it up by forming a third party? So far, not a single Republican is going to vote for government-run health care. If the parties were the same the vote would be unanimous, would it not? If the parties were the same, all the Republicans would be on board for this, in the House and the Senate, and they're not. I think one Republican in the House voted for government-run health care. When cap and trade came up, eight Republicans voted for it. The rest voted against it. In the Senate, all but a couple of Republicans voted against the stimulus bill. If the parties were the same, sweeping majorities, health care would already be the law of the land if the Republican Party was the same as the Democrat Party. There wouldn't have been any tea parties. We wouldn't be having to mess around with all these various bills and CBO scores. But, folks, it's all out in front of your face. It's right in the middle of your face, right in front of your eyes. The parties are not the same. We need more of this, and you don't get more of this by insisting that there's no difference between the parties.
Now, I'm the first to tell you, and I'm the first to agree that the Republican Party has screwed up and it needs to continue to find its legs, and with our help, it will have no choice but to become a traditional conservative party. We don't have Marxists in our party. We don't have Maoists leading the charge in our party. Those people have found a home in Obama's party and government but not in the Republican Party. The problem is that there are people trying to confuse the issue. They're saying, "Well, the Republicans spent too much and they did this and they gave us new entitlements, they spend just like the Democrats, they all spend, they all spend the same." I get that. I fought them on those things. I was deeply upset and opposed to a lot of this spending. I had emissaries from the White House sent down here to try to get my mind right on these things. But they are not, as a matter of ideology, the Republicans are not seeking the destruction of capitalism and the private sector. They are not trying to hollow out the military. They are not undermining our intelligence services and so forth.
The Republican Party has lost its way because of one issue: Abortion. The Ivy League Republican-in-name-only so-called moderate Republicans who are truly liberal Republicans do not like the social issue of abortion and other social issues like family values and morality and all that having a role in the party platform. It's as simple as that. They didn't like it when Reagan ran the show and was winning big landslides. But they are not Marxists. They are not Maoists. They do not hate the US military. They are not apologizing for the United States of America around the world. Snap out of this! There's no difference between the two parties. The Republican Party right now has lost its way. This conservative ascendancy can help it find its way. The Democrat Party has found its way, and it's the radical left way, and that's who they are now, and they have to be stopped. And they will not be stopped if a third party ends up being the result of this little internecine war in the Republican Party. They will be in power, the Democrats will be in perpetuity if a third party emerges out of our party.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Look, the truth is, folks, that most of us know that the two parties are not the same. We're hearing a lot from the same people, or thinking that surrounded the Ross Perot effort or the Reform Party effort, more generally. It seems that some people are trying to tap into this group and then claim it represents most conservatives, Libertarians, Republicans, when in fact it doesn't. Now, we always had populist movements in this country on the left and the right. But we are not populists, we're constitutionalists, we are conservatives. And when a majority of us are in control of the Republican Party, the Republican Party wins. But it's not gonna win if there's a third party."

Conservatives have begun to show the Government it's dissatisfaction. They have poured out in their protest of what the democrats have done with their Tea Parties and the two governorial victories gained in Virginia and New Jersey. We need to decide how we can go about and bring back our country to what she is capable of being. We need not apologize to anyone if we are 'Leaders' and can show the world the path to success. We don't need to bow to any king or emperor, we are all equals. The Constitution is our game plan and we need to bring American Exceptionalism back to the forefront. We need to take back the GOP and then our country. God Bless you and the USA.
