Time for a major Third Party to form: Sarah Palin to lead it

[EagleandLiberty]

Bye...The SOCIAL CONSERVATIVES stabbed me in the back to many times. I am going to stay and rebuild the GOP.

[Aliska]

OK. I suppose I could find a thing or two in all parties out there I am for. What is wrong with social conservatives though? What do you mean by libertarian Republican? Legalize cocaine, methamphetimins, heroin, etc.?

I'd rather not be affiliated with any party so I'm not going to be until I see change I can believe in.

I don’t want the government in the bedroom of adults. But if the government is issuing marriage licenses, I don’t want the government changing and corrupting the concept of marriage and giving homosexuals a marriage license.

[EagleandLiberty]

I still don't care if Adam and Steve are sleeping together. I do Not want them to be married, but---

I want them to have the right to visit each other in hospitals and to be like married people -- without Marriage.

I agree with most of your conclusions, but how???

The Rino’s have control of the party and the money. How ya gonna get rid of ‘em? Once the republicans were a third party too.

[AuntB]

And BTW, in case you haven’t noticed, the ‘republican’ name is tainted to the point I don’t think it’s coming back.

No, the right to live nude!!! The right to smoke and the right to be free!!

I'd rather not be affiliated with any party so I'm not going to be until I see change I can believe in.

I've been a Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, and now the Republican again. I been looking at the New Whig Party and the Constitution Party and the Falcon Party. I'm staying in the GOP for now!!

[EagleandLiberty]

I don’t want them to have a marriage license either. just the right like couples do have.

[TheFourthMagi]

Take over the Republican Party. Force the big government socially liberal RINOs to make their own third party.

[dfwgator]

Force the big government socially liberal RINOs to make their own third party.

Or better yet, tell them to find another line of work. Of course most of them have never held a real job in their lives.

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

The Social CONSERVATIVES are what is causing the REPUBLICANS to lose!!

Fairly ridiculous, considering that the last social conservative GOP nominee was Reagan (yes he was a fiscal conservative and a hawk, too). In addition, the anti-gay marriage amendments win all around the country, and most folks oppose Roe vs. Wade's provisions. The no same sex marriage amendment won in FL by two to one, while McCain lost, and is winning in California, while McCain was crushed.

Exactly. The cause of true conservatism is being destroyed by this social/religious conservative nonsense. There are huge numbers of people who actually would like to see much smaller government and much less regulation, who vote Democrat because they are appalled by the “social conservative” stuff, which really just boils down to more government meddling.

[EagleandLiberty]

If Sarah goes third Party, she'd commit political suicide. If you social conservatives want to start a third party, be my guest, that is when I'll fight the DEMOCRAT inside the Democratic party.

I am a church goer, but religion is killing the GOP!

[bmwcyle]

Get behind Sarah or get lost.

[sonic109]

I’d say get on the phone today and start calling every Republican in off and tell them to start looking for work . I’d clean out the lot of them.

[EagleandLiberty]

Sorry but you social conservatives need to get a life. Most Americans are sick of Roe v Wade coming up every 4 years. If we get justices to overturn it...fine, but Social Conservatives = BIG GOVERNMENT.

[sonic109]

The social conservatives don’t interest me either.

[sonic109]

Throw them the hell out of office that’s how.I’m leaving the Republican party as of today and will call my “representatives” and tell them why. WE need to take on the tactics of the left and become hard ball hard nosed bastards and scream and yell and fight and get in their faces as a certain Marxist leader said recently.

Exactly... my friend is a democrat CONSERVATIVE and he can't stand the Republicans because of social conservatives. Another friend is a Democrat and he owns a business and he is a Dem because the Dems are ok with gay people. Are we? No, we aren't.

Sorry, Social Conservatives, but you caused us to lose. We need to rebuild the GOP and we need to bring the REAGAN DEMOCRATS into the Party.

:-) I knew I wasn’t the only one!! The candidates we had running this year all had flaws — Huckabee wanted people to eat Healthy (sorry Huck, but if I want a Big Mac, it is my choice), Romney was great but he had a flaw, Fred Thompson didn’t seem that he wanted to be in the race and some of the others were to boring.
