That&#8217;s what\u00a0all of the liberals have done in the wake of\u00a0their crushing defeat at the polls in 2014.\u00a0And by the way&#8230; a crushing defeat is the only way to describe what\u00a0just happened, but the liberals\u00a0keep spinning\u00a0until their heart is content. The fact is that Republicans took\u00a0control of the Senate with a gain of at least seven\u00a0and possibly nine more seats. Now they enjoy an even\u00a0bigger majority in the\u00a0U.S. House of Representatives than they had before. It is a bigger majority than they have\u00a0ever had\u00a0since the Great Depression in 1929. That&#8217;s\u00a0over eighty years\u00a0ago and it is all because of you&#8230; the conservatives in the Republican Party. \u00a0It was a crushing defeat\u00a0for Democrats and their\u00a0progressive agenda no matter how hard they try to spin it. But did\u00a0the leaders of the GOP\u00a0give\u00a0conservatives credit for it&#8230; Hell no. They ridicule you and continue to marginalize you.<\/p>\n<p>Starting\u00a0at the top with ObamaCare, the President&#8217;s signature\u00a0piece of legislation and proceeding all the way down to\u00a0 the President&#8217;s current\u00a0push for comprehensive immigration reform&#8230; the Democrats are\u00a0in full blown denial as to what the results of the Midterm Elections really mean. The Democrat leader in the Senate is Harry Reid. The other day he said that the Democrats&#8217; defeat at the polls in 2014 meant that, <em>&#8220;the American people want Democrats and Republicans to work together.&#8221;<\/em>\u00a0 Excuse me ?? No\u00a0it doesn&#8217;t! \u00a0The American people rejected\u00a0the Democratic\u00a0Party\u00a0because\u00a0they don&#8217;t like the way it is governing the country. We elected Republicans not to cooperate with\u00a0them. We elected Republicans to\u00a0stop\u00a0them. That&#8217;s the truth, but\u00a0of course the Democrats won&#8217;t admit that, not even to themselves. What President Obama said in the aftermath of\u00a0his Party&#8217;s crushing defeat in 2014 indicates that he is\u00a0in even more denial than Harry Reid is.<\/p>\n<p>Take my advice and don&#8217;t listen to\u00a0any of\u00a0the spin coming from the mainstream media\u00a0and the Democrat Party. \u00a0It will only drive you completely nuts. Let me give you some good advice for the next two years because our political battle has only just begun. As soon as the 2014 Midterm Elections are over conservatives need to quit the Republican Party in droves. We need to\u00a0send a very strong message to the GOP,\u00a0a message\u00a0that they can not and will not ignore. If millions of conservatives change\u00a0their Party affiliation from Republican to independent or\u00a0to non-affiliated then the Republican Party will\u00a0begin to pay attention. They will not be able delude themselves anymore by thinking that their\u00a0recent success\u00a0in the midterm elections was due to the ridiculous idea that Americans actually voted <strong><em>for<\/em><\/strong> them rather than\u00a0just <strong><em>against<\/em> <\/strong>their opponents.<\/p>\n<p>The only way we can get the Republican Party to govern conservatively during the next two years and\u00a0then pay attention to us in 2016 is to quit the Republican Party right now while\u00a0there is still have enough time to make our voices\u00a0heard. We will have more leverage now and in the\u00a0run up to the 2016 Republican Presidential Primary if we quit now than if we remain in the Party and try to\u00a0change it from within. Ronald Reagan tried to change the Republican Party from within, but he didn&#8217;t achieve any lasting success.\u00a0The only way we can realistically hope to get a\u00a0solid constitutional conservative nominated to lead\u00a0the Republican ticket in 2016 is to quit the Republican Party right now.. It is the only way we can\u00a0use our\u00a0combined political leverage to get the Republican Party to\u00a0do more than just block, but to actually turn back\u00a0the\u00a0fundamental transformation of America\u00a0that was begun by\u00a0Barack Obama and the Democrat Party in 2008. If we are\u00a0lucky\u00a0we might even be able to get the Republicans in Congress to\u00a0initiate impeachment proceedings\u00a0against this President\u00a0before he commits anymore violations of his constitutional authority. The Republican Party will only\u00a0listen to conservatives\u00a0if\u00a0enough conservatives have the courage to leave the\u00a0GOP and change our\u00a0Party affiliation.\u00a0\u00a0The R.N.C.\u00a0will definitely notice the dwindling Republican Party registration numbers. That\u2019s really all they\u00a0care about&#8230; the numbers and the money.\u00a0 They can get all the money they want from their wealthy progressive donors&#8230; but they cant win the next election without our votes. Our battle for the next two years is not with Democrats. It is with the progressive establishment\u00a0controls the Republican Party. Our battle is with the\u00a0Republican\u00a0Establishment.<\/p>\n<p>If conservatives don&#8217;t quit the Republican Party in\u00a0sufficient numbers to make the R.N.C.\u00a0take notice before 2016 then the RNC will just continue to take your vote for granted both now and in the future. They will worry more about losing the Hispanic vote in 2016 than your vote and they will nominate someone\u00a0like Jeb Bush or Chris Christie or Mitt Romney to run again for President.\u00a0 It\u00a0will happen.\u00a0Jeb Bush is already traveling around the country trying to secure\u00a0promises to support his\u00a0bid for the nomination\u00a0in 2016. Romney is doing\u00a0the same thing. That&#8217;s why he is\u00a0keeping his face and his name in the news whenever and wherever he can. The only way\u00a0to prevent this from happening\u00a0again is to\u00a0make the Republican Party worry about losing your vote.\u00a0We\u00a0can have more impact on the Republican Party\u00a0if we leave it now than if we chose to remain. Ask yourself one very important question. Whose vote is the Republican Party actually more worried about losing\u2026 yours or some\u00a0Hispanic&#8217;s who is not even in\u00a0our country legally\u00a0?<\/p>\n<p>Make the Republican Party\u00a0work for\u00a0your vote in 2016. Don\u2019t let them\u00a0assume it&#8217;s in the bag. Don\u2019t let them\u00a0take your vote \u00a0for granted ever again. Quit the Republican Party\u00a0and register as an independent or a non-affiliated voter. Make sure that the Republican Party\u00a0pays attention to\u00a0you in 2016.\u00a0\u00a0It&#8217;s really our last, best chance to turn the country around and restore respect for the Constitution in Washington. Please remember this&#8230; Even Ronald Reagan couldn&#8217;t\u00a0reform\u00a0the Republican Party\u00a0from the inside by working with it. He couldn&#8217;t change the Republican Party\u00a0by\u00a0cooperating with it and neither can you.\u00a0Ronald Reagan didn&#8217;t\u00a0defeat socialism in America.\u00a0He didn&#8217;t defeat the\u00a0leftist ideology of the Democratic Party. He\u00a0only helped to\u00a0defeat\u00a0socialism in the Soviet Union.\u00a0That was obviously a lot easier than defeating the Progressive, Leftist ideology here in America. Progressivism\u00a0remains alive and well in America and it is fundamentally transforming our country. If you want to stop it then you have to try\u00a0a fundamentally different strategy.<\/p>\n<p>To be sure the Reagan Revolution\u00a0ended the day that Ronald Reagan left office. That was\u00a0the day that\u00a0the Democrat and Republican Parties\u00a0picked up\u00a0right where they\u00a0left off before\u00a0Ronald Reagan became our 40th President.\u00a0 Today\u00a0the Democrat and Republican Parties are\u00a0far\u00a0worse than they ever were\u00a0during the 1980s\u00a0and there are no more Ronald Reagans around to\u00a0even temporarily halt\u00a0our country&#8217;s progressive slide to the Left.\u00a0\u00a0Furthermore we\u00a0need to do\u00a0much better than Ronald Reagan actually did if we are going to pass the blessings of freedom\u00a0down to our children and our grandchildren.\u00a0Merely\u00a0halting\u00a0America&#8217;s progressive slide to the left for eight years is not enough.\u00a0 We need to do better than that. We need to reverse\u00a0our country&#8217;s direction.\u00a0We need to try a fundamentally different approach&#8230; one\u00a0that does not consist of appeasement\u00a0or cooperation with the progressives who control the Republican Party.<\/p>\n<p>Today I quit the Republican Party. Please stand with me and make the GOP\u00a0hear our combined voices. They have all the money they need from their wealthy, east coast, progressive establishment donors, They don&#8217;t need your money, but they can&#8217;t win the 2016 election without your votes. Make them earn your votes. If you quit now they will listen&#8230; maybe not immediately, but they will stand up and take notice and\u00a0they will listen before 2016. Quit the GOP now!<\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-like\" data-href=\"https:\/\/lessgovisthebestgov.com\/blog\/stopping-the-progressive-transformation-of-america-defeating-democrats-now-and-beating-the-republican-establishment-in-2016\/\" data-send=\"false\" data-layout=\"standard\" data-width=\"450\" show_faces=\"false\" data-action=\"like\" data-font=\"\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<img width=\"125\" height=\"107\" src=\"https:\/\/lessgovisthebestgov.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Midterm-Elections-2014.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail-excerpt\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><p>As soon as the 2014 Midterm Elections are over conservatives need to quit the Republican Party in droves.
