Right. Google “Third Party in the United States.” Take your pick from the two dozen or so.

In the 1920s the Socialist Party got a few percent of the popular vote but zero electoral votes. They changed strategy and determined to grow within the rat party. FDR, LBJ, BJ Clinton, BHO are all the spawn of that decision.

The salvation of our republic rests within conservative/tea party takeover of the GOP. It is nowhere else.

Exactly. Its actually easier than people think if they take the time to get it done. Tea partiers need to get out to their state conventions and change the policy making structure by tossing RINOs off the RNC and replacing them with conservatives. That usually can be done with a few hundred votes.

Look at what's happening in Michigan. Tea party strength is growing and its forcing the state to the right. Tea partiers are taking over county GOP leadership positions and RINOs are falling in line.

Good grief, how many more repeats do we need of 08 and 12, with 7, 8, 9 “candidates” for the media and each other to destroy??

I’ve been a Republican for 60 years, but I quit Nov. 7, 2012, and I’m too damn old to wait around for more time-wasting. I’d like to help get my country back and I can’t help if I’m dead. So PICK a third party, and “infiltrate” that and support it. It doesn’t work with the Republican party. Like many of us say, they don’t call it the Stupid Party for nothing. I felt sooo good voting for my first Libertarian (local) last year. I’d like to feel good once more; any party, please!
