Perhaps I miss the intent, meaning of your request. I don’t understand the word “Conservative” in the same text with the word “Democrat”.

come now, there are conservatives in the Democratic party. What do they call them, Blue dogs or something? they exist and I think they’re fed up with the ways of their liberal friends.

Many Tea Parties involve Democrats, Libertarians, Republicans, and Independents. Not only do these Tea Parties indicate discontent with the Government, they indicate that there is/are significant discontent against Dems and Repub status quo practices and policies. Hence why recent polling indicated that more and more people are identifying themselves as Independents when they once called themselves Dems and/or Repubs.

With Barry’s continuing policies to wreck this country and with the continued lack of ANY viable Repub alternative, the time is right for a 3rd party to emerge.

Conservative Democrats are far different from Conservatives I would believe.

Let’s just say that a Conservative Democrat can be mistaken as sane while a Democrat is a positive I.D.

With Conservative Republican Gov. Palin, I will stay
with the party and the person who has the best chance to beat Obama, Gov. Palin.

Third Party loons don’t want Conservative leadership or a Conservative President, the reason for trying to divide the Republican Party

Wow...I’m kinda surprised to see 79% of the voters saying YES. I ‘m happy to see that.

Stop the ridiculous practice of “open primaries”.

Come up with a compromise agreement for term limits.

Restore the rights to the individual States that have been illegally stolen by the Federal government.

Do all of that, and we shouldn’t need a third party.

But the Republican leadership has got to stop it’s pandering to the left, and standing by while the Democrats play by a different set of rules.

Grow some balls or get out of the way!

I would say YES but it doesn’t mean 3rd party - I think that we need true conservative leaders and a grassroots movement - the tea parties have been wonderful thus far and I think there is more to come... who knows there may be someone on the horizon to really start a conservative revolution ;) At that point the RINOs can either get on the conservative train or get run over!

Third parties don’t work, never have. Its the fastest way to elect Democrats.

We’ve got a leader and she is making her move. We don’t need a freaking Ross Perot party.

3rd parties have not worked because they failed to produce a strong and viable enough candidate(s) not necessarily because of their policies, etc.

Ridiculous. Teddy Roosevelt was a strong and viable a candidate as you’ll ever find. If it didn’t work for him, it isn’t going to work for some delusional nitwit.

Republicans need to break free from liberals. Democrats need to break free from totalitarian Stalinists.

It never stops. Now serious people ask “Who wants to weaken the only alternative to the Democrat party? And why?”
