In Open Split with Bush, Top US Conservative Calls for Independent Movement
by Advena May 23rd, 2006 in General
I think real republicans wishing to reclaim their party (or otherwise distance themselves from it’s hijackers) are the best hope for tipping the scales by giving disillusioned conservatives somewhere else to go - that recalcitrant minority that still believe neoconservatism=patriotism - this could shatter a few neocon memes
(AFP @ Common Dreams)The patriarch of US conservatives has urged his followers to halt their financial support of the Republican Party and start an independent movement, signaling a major political shift that could result in heavy losses for the US ruling party in upcoming elections.
Richard Viguerie, who was instrumental in cementing the winning coalitions behind Ronald Reagan in 1980 and George W. Bush in 2000, declared that conservatives were “downright fed up” with both the president and Republican-controlled Congress.
“At the very least, conservatives must stop funding the Republican National Committee and other party groups,” Viguerie wrote in a lengthy essay in The Washington Post Sunday.
He suggested conservatives “redirect their anger into building a third force,” which he defined as a movement independent of any party, and laying the groundwork for the 2008 election campaign.
