Santorum yes, 3rd party = obamabot MOLE bc that’s what 3rd party will accomplish. And supporting GOP is supporting “death” of GOP?! Puleeasse. Supporting 3rd party is death of GOP, death of conservatism, death of America.

But then I’m really not worried abt any of these shenanigans bc I don’t think this time around this ruse is gonna work. People are way too determined to quash the satan obumbum.

Good post and good thread. Great to see this guy address mitt’s dirty fighting. Mitt doesn’t belong on a R platform to begin with. Why doesn’t someone tell him to try honesty and drop the R. And then tell RP he could never be trusted as he’s never attacked the most liberal of all candidates and then tries to separate himself from the 3 but he’s right in the pocket of the most liberal.

I’m ready for a 3rd party where imposters aren’t allowed.

Sarah impresses me more every time I see her on Hannity. It is just too bad she was successfully skewered by Tina fey in SNL skits before the 2008 elections. If we knew her as well then as we her now, she could have been incumbent VP running for president in 2012.

With a candidate like mitt shoved on conservatives when he’s really a liberal by his record, the GOP is already split. He gets the GOP E and liberal media support. She is a firmly against the GOP E and the liberal media. And she’s already addressed the tactics being used against the conservative Newt. When things get this bad, smart people go back to the drawing board and pull the rug from the maggots. This is about our allegiance to OUR COUNTRY, not to a party!

We can not afford 4 more years of Obama.

It is just that serious.

I see. Well, I sincerely wish your children good luck, and pray they will find meaningful jobs. But, in looking at future generations, my immediate concern is not about their future jobs– but their future liberty and freedom.

In 2008, 75% of Americans were against the bank bailouts– because Americans saw the bailouts as an assault on the foundational underpinnings of this nation– capitalism and free markets. But, our elected officials paid us no mind– they took our money and rescued their rich and powerful associates. The Tea Party came into existence not because of the money– but because grassroots America understood that their government was no longer responsive to the will of the people.

Now, part of that government, the GOP-e, is currently telling member-Republicans that the primaries and electoral process constitute a pantomime– we can go through the motions, but the DC insiders have already selected our candidate. We are losing our freedom, my friend.

How are your children, and the next generations served, by surrendering to the will of an oligarchy?

For the sake of the kids, I’d rather support a true constitutional America resistance party that will fight for their American birthright of liberty and freedom– even if it means having to suffer through another 4 years of the socialist party.

Gov. Palin will do what’s right for the regular folks off America— if one doesn’t understand that, than one doesn’t understand her.

I’m down with a 3rd party run——Newt/Sarah.
______________________________________________________________
Man, that is exactly what I was getting ready to post; almost word for word. If Newt is not the nominee, I’ll go Third Party because Obozo will destroy RINO-Rom (whom I despise) and Santorum, in whom I am extremely disappointed in his terrible Debate performance last night. So, hell. May as well go down swinging with a Candidate/Party you believe in rather than going down with a candidate you despise or are embarrassed by.

Anybody who’s for 3rd party is an obamabot mole, clear and present!
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Not so. At one time in the not-to-distant past, the thought of a Third Party costing us the White House put me into a cold sweat. But, after this friggin’ zoo of a Primary Process the GOP has put on for the past 6 months.......... hell, I’m for doing anything now. We had a sorry lot of candidates, from which to choose, from the start. And, we’re going to end up with RINO-Rom. He can kiss my a**. But, I must give the guy his due. He was just plain smarter than Ricky boy in the Debate last night.

So, you are of the same cloth as Romney. If you can't argue on the merits of your position you make up lies about them.

If neither Obama nor Romney appear likely to attend the 1/20/13 Inaugural...the BiPartisan DC Elite willl BE sure there will be a “third party” ...and even , if it appears necessary, a “fourth party” candidacy come November. Guarandamnteed.

Amen to everything you said. People who tell us we must vote for a statist like Romney (if heaven forbid he’s the nominee)are telling us we should choose death at 80mph over death by 100mph. Our country and our liberty will still die, just not as quickly.

‘I would rather the senate than the White House’
Respectfully disagree -
obozo has rendered congress irrelevant!
With all his czars, union thugs, ‘agencies’, exec orders, his ‘above the laws’ actions.....PLUS no more worries about election, obozo will be the terminator destroying everything every single day!
Unless Congress grows a pair, they will simply let obozo trample all over them!
OMG - OBAMA MUST GO!

Correction: We can't afford 4 more years of liberals, period.

Doesn't matter if they have a (D) or an (R) next to their name. The only difference between the two is how fast they send us down the road to socialism.

It would serve the GOP right for shoving Romney down our throats. I can vote third party over Romney, no problem. I’ll NEVER vote for a ticket with Mitt Romney on it.

Exactly right. The GOP-e threw Miller under the bus, and forced Murkowski on Alaska— and did nothing to help Angle beat Reid.

Objectively— the GOP-e will gladly accept grassroots conservative votes— but it will side with Dems over a constitutional conservative candidate.
