Well yes.........where it was in 1955.Unfortunately or fortunately depending on your pov that isn't where 80-90% of republicans are in 2012.You can try and go back but i'm skeptical there will be any long term success in that regard.
Changing the makeup of the GOP, doesn't equal "going back".
Hmmm......maybe your argument would be better directed at wannabenomad.
As for your link,thats 4+ minutes of my life I can never get back and i'm not smart enough to understand its relevence to this topic but I thought the kid in it did a great impersonation of Kelso on 'that 70's show'.Ashton Kutcher better be on guard !

LOL. The YT wasn't necessarily directed at you. The relevancy was in regard to "real" people going out and actively participating.
This applies across the board, but RP supporters are having success by thoughtfully and strategically participating in the real world process with people. RP supporters video tape everything they can.

LOL,Yes it was pretty funny where they made fun of 'activists' whose activist activities are comprised of wearing t-shirts,signing internet petitions,making facebook posts,and patting themselves on the back.
There are a lot of people,across the religious/political/social issues spectrum,who fancy themselves to be some sort of rebel by merely yelling at people on the internet.
See, herein lies the problem: this movement has failed to win the hearts of Republicans, save 5-15%. If they are taking over the establishment, then they themselves are now the establishment elites who don't care what the people think. The very people they've been decrying. Because the people have shown they don't want Ron Paul style Republicans. You can take over the establishment, but you will never suppress the people's voice!
We are taking over the party so that no candidate and his/her supporters gets marginalized, denigrated and insulted in the future, like we have been. We want to make sure that every voice is heard, even if it's a voice we don't agree with. We will treat everyone fairly even though we were not treated fairly ourselves. We will always follow the rules and won't cheat like the GOP. (Case in point - if we had cheated, we could have won many of the delegate battles we lost in many states, but we didn't.)
If you are the majority (80%-90%), then you have nothing to fear from us, because you can always organize in a similar manner, and get the party leadership back from us.
But if you are the real minority (10%-20%) who have been misleading the rest of the GOP (60%-80%) and taking them along with you for a ride, then you have everything to fear from us when we use the bully pulpit to preach small government, spending cuts, personal liberties, a non-interventionist foreign policy etc. Ya know, the things which conservatives believed in at some point in time in the distant past?
2 years, 4 years, from now, some of the old guard would have deceased, and will be organically replaced by the new generation of Ron Paul Republicans. This trend will accelerate as the average 87 year old GOPers continue to kick the buckets. I liken the current antics of the GOP to the childish tantrums of obstinate old people who refuse to change their die-hard habits, whom the younger members of the family understandingly tolerate because of deference to them.
Do you not see that WE are the future?
