The GOP is doing a good job of dividing and conquering itself with its "Stop Sarah" and "Screw the TEA Party" shenanigans.
Certainly, which is all the more reason for a liberal publication to incite more division amongst us. A third party in today's environment will hurt conservatives and help liberals. Does that mean we can never consider a third party? No.
What it means, right now, is that we must be delibrate in our thoughts and actions to reform our current party. We must be reasonable and logical in how we respond to the GOP. That means understanding our goals, setting priorities, weighing options, recognizing consequences, and choosing effective strategies.
