I started a thread not to long ago entitled "History and the Stimulus Package". A good friend of mine posted on that thread suggesting I was missing the point. He suggested that there is no difference between the parties, and I partially agree.
I sent him a PM:

Au contraire my friend! I distrust the republicans as much if not more than the democrats! with the current bunch of democrats in DC I know exactly what to expect! The republicans you cant tell! My point for the thread was 2 fold. I wanted to point out this little known fact about the Socialist movement in America working to subvert the Democratic party, and also point out that while Republicans may deserve blame for our current state of the economy they dont deserve all of it.
I am a registered republican. Not due to a love affair with the party and their beliefs. It is because of the 2 parties, the republican has the most hope and no third party has a chance in hell until one or both parties crumble to the ground!
My principles are of a conservative nature, as I believe most Americans are, not a republican nature, but the only place that there is even a small voice for conservative values is the republican party, and I hope we take the party back, either that or let the parties crumble so that we may once again have two or more parties that are honorable adversaries with the peoples best interest in mind as opposed to the stink fest that we have there in DC now!

I am not likely to reply to that thread any more as I find that everyone responding to me, without fail, are responding to a stereotype of what they think I am and believe instead of responding to what I am saying!

Good night my friend

This was his response:

First off, my apologies for stereotyping you, secondly, concerning sticking with the repubs rather than a 3rd party, I have to ask the question, "How do you do the same thing over and over again expecting a different result?". The republican party came into being because of a shift in the thinking of the populace, not because the whigs fell apart.
My next point, the republicans abandoned free market principles a long time ago, they now represent the Globalistic Corporate interests and not American free/fair market interests. They have left us behind. My final point, the dems are not for socialism, they are for power. And like the bankers and industrialists of Germany in the 30's(our republicans of today)they dont care what Herr Hitler(Dems/Feds)do as long as they are free to make money. The people are being controlled by the state for the sake of the state and the dollar simultaneously. To be afraid of socialism is seeing only half of the problem.
He makes some great points, as always! Sharp man my friend!

I replied:

Sorry for taking so long to reply.
If your wine glass was filled with "corked" wine, would you toss the glass or simply dump out the bad wine, wash the glass and refill it with good wine? Do you toss our constitution out the window because our politicians and judges trample it under foot daily or do you dust off the constitution, kick out all the bad politicians and start fresh?
Believe me when I say that if you start a new party, if it has any chance for success it will quickly fill up with con-men and charlatans who are only looking for their own personal gain!
The principles of Conservatism have a home in the republican party. I say persuade the party to act on its original character and values and shun those who only hold these values until it is no longer expedient! The problems we have in the Republican party we will have in whatever party we form until we can stand up and say "No more! We will act on principle and no longer on what is expedient."
This is the way I see it.

The part I highlighted in red is the point I wish to address mostly but all is open for discussion!

I recently heard about Ron Paul and his earmarks and googled it. I opened the first link and post it here:FOXNews.com - Rep. Ron Paul Defends His Earmarks in Spending Bill - Neil Cavuto | Your World
Its a transcript, not a news story, but here we have Ron Paul, A libertarian and republican presidential candidate, a man with reputed solid convictions. A man against earmarks. puts in the largest amount, monetarily, in earmarks in one of the latest spending bills, and then votes against it, knowing full well that it is going to be passed. It seems to me that Paul shows himself to be a hypocrite. Worse than what we already have in washington? probably not, but I think his actions help to make my point about starting another party.

Honestly guys, does this make any sense to you? It doesn't to me.
I also believe that starting a new party is fraught with dangers of frauds and charlatans! I say we keep the house we have and give it a good scrubbing instead of tossing the baby out with the bath water!
