Because we can’t create a third party don’t you know.

I was told when I registered as a Republican in Louisiana in 1961 that I was wasting my vote because the winner would be elected in the Democrat Primary which I would not be allowed to vote in.

It takes time to build a third party that would be viable but you got to start some time if you want real change.

Unfortunately, I don’t see that happening. We are too busy fighting ourselves on issues like the War on Drugs, etc. Most of us are not “pure” enough on our positions to even get agreement among ourselves much less decide on a platform that would embrace a true majority of voters.

The Democrats don’t have to divide us, we do that ourselves. We accuse the Liberals of thinking they “know everything”, but I see the same attitude here.

Look what happened here during our primary. We couldn’t agree on one canditate because of “flaws” of not being the perfect one.

It’s our problem, and until we find a way of finding the best instead of the perfect, we will remain powerless with RINO’s in charge of the opposition.

We won’t be creating a 3rd party.

We will be creating a second one.
