Regarding articles about "How to Save the Republican Party," it's not worth saving say commenters

.
March, 2013, "How to Save the Republican Party," Commentary, Michael Gerson, Peter Wehner

==================== 

The above article was posted on Free Republic. Commenters at Free Republic include the following:

===================

"What does “save the Republican party” even mean ?

Is the R party necessary ? Is it good ?

Exactly how does it influence the government in the best interest of those Americans who work, pay taxes ? What about those who own property ? Those who “foot the bill” ?

I think it’s becoming painfully obvious to the “Republican in the street” that the R party is simply another political arm of the establishment that is nestled in tax-free foundations that actually direct US government, law and policy, the media, education and US capital markets on behalf of international money.

If international money wanted America to thrive, it could make it happen overnight.

"I don’t recognize my, or my family’s values in the party. It’s just a “little better on the economy” Democrat party.
I changed my party affiliation from Republican to Unaffiliated just this morning coincidentally.

Great job there Karl and crew, great job! /s

"I don’t currently see how the Republican Party can be saved, when its leadership demonstrates total contempt and loathing for its base. All while caving and capitulating on every principle they ostensibly stood for, from fiscal cliffs to Obamacare to amnesty to social issues. It seems they are following a recipe for oblivion.

"The GOP is slobbering over itself with intent to bring in illegal alien voters that will never vote for it. Benghasi, gun rights, federal workers who refuse to pay taxes, billions to countries that despise us, jobless citizens, a healthcare law destroying jobs and our way of life, government purchase of so much ammunition law enforcement is left to fend for itself. 

  All are issues outraging taxpaying patriotic citizens (who are ostracized for being patriotic - and that's omitting the assault against Christianity and Fast & Furious and the continuous assault against our personal freedoms).

"Do you really want to know how to save the republican party? For starters, quit trying to emulate the democrats, and quit trying to get democrats to like you! It will never happen! Ever! Republicans will never get the minority population vote! As long as democrats and republicans can vote to take your money, and hand it out to people for votes, including minorities, you have no say in the matter. US elections are the largest fraud and influence buying schemes that exist. This unfortunately, allows hard-core fascists like obama and his ilk to swoop in and take over in the ensuing chaos. Ask the Germans how that worked out for them.

"The ideas in the article may be good ideas. I suggest people go out and create a new political party and put those ideas into practice.

 

Fixing the GOP ain't gonna happen. Walk away.

Ed. note: The GOP is well dead as long as Fox News exists and Rupert Murdoch and Roger Ailes make hiring decisions. Fox News is a GOP establishment fortress. It's purpose is to keep us out. New people can fight to break through and it may work once in awhile, but it's next to impossible for us to get the people we need to save this country when the 24/7 powerhouse has all its guns aimed at keeping us from doing so.
