This does no good. Elect Hillary or worse, Elizabeth Warren??

[kosciusko51]

Your microaggression is showing. ;-)

A Laz-created political party. I’m in! What could go wrong?

[no-to-illegals]

Leftovers?

[Lazamataz]

Might want to change the name from a party that disappeared because of its gutlessness.

Naw. I like the irony, of being named for a party that died because it was gutless, but emerging again shaped by bravery and conviction.

Irony is so ironic.

[fella]

If there’s a ping list put me on it. I’m done with the GOPe.

[Lazamataz]

Elect Hillary or worse, Elizabeth Warren??

Or even worse, Jeb Bush???

USIP = US Independence Party
modelled after UKIP version from UK

A better one, even though it disappeared as well, at least had a cool name ...

[Genoa]

Just call it the Conservative Party.

[CT]

I’m down.

The Bull Moose (or Progressive) Party was the source of many of the big-government, intrusivist woes we are faced with today. TR was a great guy, but much more liberal than many realize.

[rarestia]

I like leftovers. Except salads. They get soggy and gross.

[moose07]

Laz and Nigel Farage together, i’d pay money to listen to that.

[Lazamataz]

Unfortunately, our official snack is Cheetos.

[EQAndyBuzz]

Will there be punch and pie?

I keep thinking a third party is going to show up from places we least expect it. Like NYC. From the ‘eastern establishment’ types that have been increasingly shoved aside by the nut cases in the Democrat party, people who realize that our literature is gone, the arts are gone, and the Ivy League is a sort of toilet. There are people who are appalled by this.

The old intellectual classes, perhaps, joined by the police and other organizations that are fed up with the arrogance and the aggression of far-left loonies.

Okay, I’m nuts.

[Da Coyote]

I am interested, since I just gave the GOP the finger.

[Theodore R.]

Isn’t there a NY liberal group called the “Independence Party,” but is in no way “independent”. Demos used to have a splinter party group called the “Peace and Freedom Party.”

Good! I have been waiting to be able to celebrate Millard Fillmore Day!
