Has the Third Party’s Time Come? YES
But beware of a lot of crossovers who want to join the new party and pollute the formation with their ‘compromise’ perspectives.
Keep the platform simple:
CUT SPENDING, ROLL BACK INTRUSION, DECENTRALIZE, PROSECUTE
Cut spending including entitlements
Cut taxes
Repeal Obamacare
Decentralize the federal government
Prosecute the banks, green scammers, gunrunners to Mexico
Securitize schools with state of the art surveillance
and so on....
No abortion debate (let the states take that on)
No gay marriage debate (let states get it done)
and so on. On these issues castrate the budgets of federal courts that make these issues their hobby.
Keep all the emotional/wedge issues out of new party’s focus. issues like gun control. Again let states get it done but beef up budgets of federal courts that back the Second Amendment.
Keep scientific nonsense such as Climate Change out of the new party talking points. Instead surreptitiously launch a scientific commission that obliterates the lies and nonsense that the Left wants to establish as a basis for global taxation and redistribution.
Keep a low profile on all things except budgets, deficits, money management, debt. Keep these at the forefront and all the massive federal intrusion will be rolled back as a consequence of the cuts taken.
LONGTERM
Repeal the 16th and 17th Amendments
Abolish the Federal Reserve and Bring Back the Gold Standard
Long Prison sentences for Vote Fraud
Yeah, that's going to go over well with most of the conservatives that want to leave the Republican party because it isn't conservative enough. Many, probably most, of these people are also social conservatives that think the culture war is worth fighting and would recoil at dropping the pro-life and pro-traditional marriage fights.
This new party you describe is simply the existing Libertarian party. Just join the Libertarians and you don't have to create a whole new party infrastructure.
I like most of what you’ve got there. And I know it’s a mistake to seek perfection, so I won’t even bother to mention the parts in your comment where I have slight disagreement.Nice job.
