Why bother with the GOP if this is all it has to offer? | Blaze Media
We’ve all become accustomed to a Republican Party that sides with its dumbest, laziest enemies. Maybe we should consider not doing that any more.

We’re on the road to Ripon — or at least we need to be.
In 1854, appalled by the Kansas-Nebraska Act and the Whig Party’s endless appetite for compromise with slavery and the Democratic Party, a group of activists met at a schoolhouse in Ripon, Wisconsin, to form a new political party that would actually stand for something. The new Republican Party ran its first presidential candidate, the explorer and army officer John C. Fremont, in 1856 under the slogan, "Free speech, free press, free men, free labor, free territory, and Fremont."
We're there again. The Republican Party is useless to the point of insult, a capitulationist entity that exists to overspend borrowed money and agree with Democrats, or at least not disagree with them too much.
We keep chasing out the elected officials who make it too obvious. But every effort to replace an Adam Kinzinger or a Liz Cheney just leads to the emergence of a new zombie who steps forward to take their places.
As we sail past $34 trillion in federal debt, heading inexorably to $50 trillion and watching the endless denunciation of “extremists” who propose to apply a little light medicine to the metastasizing cancer of federal spending, we need to consider the possibility that the party can't be saved. It should be replaced.
I can't argue. As much as the Left says they fear Mike Johnson as Speaker, I think deep down they know he is just an ongoing joke in a long line of bad jokes in the GOP.
There is no real opposition to the DNC.
