SUPPORT THE PLATFORM

I was wondering what form it would take -- where would it start, how would it start, with whom would it start? And I am proud to say that it has started in my area, in the veritable Heart of Darkness, Sacratomato, the capital of Fornicalia.

1. Where Did My Party Go?

What have the bulk of us been bemoaning the past four years? Haven't we been collectively saying: where has the GOP gone? What has become of actual Conservatives? Why is the GOP dancing predominantly to tunes scored by Republicans In Name Only (RINO) such as Fornicalia Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger? Why is the GOP adrift? And, perhaps most importantly of all, why are the lines between the Demorats and the Republicans blurred more than ever? Why is it now an accepted axiom that JFK, a Democrat in the early 60's, would be "too Right" for the Republicans of today?

Where have all the Conservatives gone?

I submit: actually, nowhere.

I submit: the RINO money and power whores have overshadowed true Conservatives in the GOP and managed to use said money and power to line their own pockets and continue their own power bases in the House and Senate. When the GOP actually controlled the House and Senate, as well as the White House -- what did they do? Essentially nothing. They caved. They appeased. They had access to a national media which they failed to use. They refused to coalesce. They proffered the Gang of 14. They failed, abjectly, to take the Conservative message to the electorate -- those who placed them there by way of the hallowed vote -- and instead allowed the opposing camp, the Demorats, to continuously define the nature and mission of not only the GOP but true Conservatives as well. And it was all a lie.

Lies not refuted, continuously and stridently, by the GOP allegedly "in power."

No. Oh no. The GOP was instead preoccupied with combing its hair, checking their members' stocks online, balancing their checkbooks or perhaps cleaning their fishtanks. Anything but tending to true Conservative values.

The GOP possessed power, were reticent in wielding it, squabbled internally, succumbed to greed and avarice, with the results being that they lost said power and now find themselves wondering: "Gosh, what happened to our donations? Why is our funding down?" A horse walks into a bar. The bartender says: "Hey, why the long face?"

BECAUSE THE GOP ABANDONED ITS CORE PRINCIPLES AND EVERY TRUE CONSERVATIVE KNOWS IT.

2. How Do We Make It Right?

I would suggest you check out Support The Platform.org.

This is not only a website, but a movement. From the website:

Real Republicans Take to the Airwaves in Battle for the Heart of the Party
Support the Platform Launches Radio ad
Campaign to Take Back the Republican Party

(Sacramento) - “…like you, I’m tired of ‘so-called’ Republicans claiming to support the Republican principles of smaller government, lower taxes and family values just in order to get my vote.” This is how local conservative radio personality, Eric Hogue begins the new radio advertisement for Support the Platform (STP), a local conservative grassroots group fighting to elect candidates who actually support Republican values. (Click Here to Listen) (read more… )

The purpose of this website is to promote those Republicans who actually adhere to Conservative values and, additionally, to ensure that the Conservative message gets out to those who need to know and to the public at large.

The purpose is to hold those persons who claim the GOP accountable to the original and core values of Conservatism and not to the current RINO landscape.

It was started in Sacramento, California.

Can you not create a website, create a demand, touch base with Conservatives -- in your area as well -- based upon True Conservative Values?

And, moreover, try to hold those persons ACCOUNTABLE?

From the website, in terms of Conservative values:
