You just want to make a stink, but you really don’t want to accomplish anything.

That's funny. One of our fellow FReepers won a Republican congressional special election primary in IL-5 a couple months back. The Republican Party didn't lift a finger to help her.

Conversely, we did everything we could for her.

You're living in a fantasy world.

I think you are a bit confused.

How much “help” will any “Third Party” candidate get from the Republican Party?

ZERO!

Therefore, what have you solved?

I followed the Pullido race. I wish she had won, but NOBODY really expected her to win. That is a HEAVY Democrat District and you need to be realistic.

More to the point: NO POLITICAL PARTY WILL EVER SUPPORT ALL THE CANDIDATES YOU WANT IT TO SUPPORT -— there just isn't enough time, money or manpower, EVER, in any Party organization.

More to the point: Any candidate who DEPENDS on the RNC to win does not have much of a campaign!

The RNC and the Republican Congressional Committee looked at the facts. I do not even think Pullido managed to get ANY real TV advertising going. Pullido’s own website kind of sucked, after the Primary. She could have put together some YouTube type advertising, attacking her opponent, and she did not even do that. Pullido also could have bought some Cable TV advertising and some radio advertising, at VERY low cost. She failed to do that. (If she did do it, she should have posted it to her web page -— she did not do so!)

Again, I like Pullido, and I hope she learned from her experience and tries again. However, it is not fair to expect the National Republican organizations to waste money on inexperienced sacrificial lambs who do not know what they are doing, can can not raise any money on their own. Look, I ran for State Rep once, only to catch the sitting Republican State Rep, who was retiring, campaign door to door for my Democrat OPPONENT!

I know how it feels!

Likewise, I had NO financial help from my own Party, since the Party was in the hands of liberals, at the time.

I did not get some Don Quito nut job idea to start a “new party” -— Instead, several of us, in Kansas TOOK OVER the State GOP!

That is what I suggest you do.

We got DOZENS of people elected, after our take over.

Third Parties never elect any conservatives, they only help the Democrats win elections.
