“and any third party candidate on the right that garners more than a handful of votes will take the GOP candidate down with them. Just stating the harsh reality, it’s Obama or the GOP candidate, it’s your vote.”

YES - you got that right. It’s just a fact.

Third party candidates are dead.

You might think that, but as time rolls and if these historic declines continue, you just might be surprised.

We have the Tea party now which seem far more effective.

We? Are you referring the Republican party?

Geez guys. I was on my third or fifth scotch when I got into this discussion. I barley know what my original point was on this. I have the occasional replies from dead threads every blue moon, but two in five minutes? You are blowing my mind.

[dragnet2]

You are blowing my mind.

Scotch isn't supposed to do that. Check yourself.

“We” is always Conservatives when I use it in discussions. In my opinion, the current GOP apparatus is something of an impediment that a useful tool to getting real reforms.

I am not sold on the idea of a third party. The people threatening it are very unpopular and will not have a better message than any of our solid Conservatives do. We are in a Conservative ascendancy because our message is the one needed for our times.

Solid Conservatives in the Republican party?

Scotch is Saturday nights. Thursday night is Peyote. Tomorrow is going to be Chrystal Meth.

Solid Conservatives in the Republican party?

You betcha.

I always think the best, so I will believe that Palin is warning the Repubs not to take the Tea Party for granted. I don't think Palin is dumb enough to think a 3rd party could do anything. Taking over the Repubs is much easier and cleaner. After the next election, we will see how it looks.

Yes, taking over the Republican party is best BUT Sarah Palin is warning the GOP that there is much at stake if they refuse to face facts. If the GOP doesn't change their tune on Sarah Palin and the Tea Party movement, there is a real possibility of the start up of a third party. The American people are pissed and the GOP Elites just don't get it. They better get their heads out of their asses real quick if they know what's good for them. Change is coming whether they want it or not.

[dragnet2]

Oh, the Republican party....I hope they work out well. Ping me when the country stops sliding into a pit.

BTW, does the Tea Party put all it's support into the Republican party? Is it now de facto Republican party?

[Lazlo in PA]

In my opinion, DeMint, Bachmann, Palin, Ryan, Rubio, Toomey, Santorum, Cain, McCotter and a hand full of others are Conservatives. There are a few.

How did a week old thread come back to full life after a week of nothing? This is the strangest thing I have seen here at FR since I got into a conspiracy argument about Television being mind control with Frantzie.

“I barley know what my original point was on this.”

Freudian slip there or just a typo? LOL

Seriously, though, I’d been looking for an appropriate place to post my ire at Trump since I heard him say (ever more frequently) that he might run on a 3rd party when I ran across your older thread, so thanks.

Scotch, eh? I’m a bourbon fan myself :-))))))))))
