Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the 2008 Republican nominee for vice president responded to a Fox News Channel viewer’s Twitter question Saturday about the possibility of her and conservative talker Mark Levin abandoning the Republican Party and creating something called the “Freedom Party.”

I don’t know about you but after trying to remember them, Trolls and PDS’ers I’ve just decided to make a spreadsheet to keep track of them.
One thing I have noticed is that so many of them have been members of Free Republic for years. I’ve often wondered if they are they same posters that signed up or if they’ve just passed on the accounts to someone else after all this time.
Think a bunch of us will go all in, what else we got going for us?
There needs to be a solid conservative leader with solid conservative backers to get this thing started.
Time has run out, now or never and I'm not just blowing smoke.
The big myth designed to keep the illusion alive. Like the Wizard of Oz.
Many are just GOP flagwavers. Some are paid, others just libs ar heart. But the bottom line is that her positions are well above the traditional 80% figure for conservative support.
You will note that many of them all scream they are uberconservative, but trash her and are all on board for whatever lib the GOP fosters on us. That ain’t conservative. It’s either GOP BS or a simple personality conflict.
We can’t do anything if a person puts personality over their country. Some people are what they are. But the GOP sycophants CAN be dealt with...accordingly.
Freedom Party or Constitution Party, I have reservations about Libertarians on some things but would choose them over Dems and Pubs.
I think people would be shocked at what a huge following The Patriot Party would have. I will not vote for another RINO-ever again.
And guaran-damn-teed to reward miserable mediocrity from here until Kingdom come!
“What we have here,is a failure to communicate”
I really do not see how a conservative can be a member of the Republican Party. We rail against the Party elites as RINOs, but their version of the GOP is true to what the Party really is now. It’s no longer a conservative party; it’s the other liberal party. It’s the conservatives who are actually “Republicans in name only”.
Really hadn’t thought of it in those terms, but you are correct.
It sounds like a losing strategy, and I am sad that it’s come to the point where conservatives feel the need to look at such an option.
All of that said:
1) No Republican strategy has been working lately.
2) When Republicans HAVE won, they haven’t given us what conservatives expect.
3) Such a party could ally itself with remaining conservative elements in the Republican Party.
For all of the above reasons, in spite of the associated dangers, I would probably be willing to abandon the Republicans in favor of such a party.
Has better stage presence in my opinion.
Wonder what it takes to organize this new party that if done properly could take at least half or more of the establishment GOP and a good percentage of "sick of Harry and Odumbo" Dems. I think it would soar. What say you holdonnow?
No, there is no losing. Simply because there is nothing TO lose. Lose another Romney candidate? Lose people that want gay everything? lose people that want amnesty?
What exactly do we lose? We get that from both dems and GOP and we do not WANT IT to begin with. There is only gain.
Yeah, that particular load of BS really burns my butt.
well that’s kind of my point. The only one to put Palin and Levin together was the tweeter.....Palin didn’t, and even the Daily Caller didnt, except in their headline.
How bout simply calling it the Conservative Party. With only a few goals to start with.
1. Abolish the IRS and send all those treasonous employees to jail.
2. Close the border. No amnesty. PERIOD.
3. Dismantle the NSA, EPA, and ALL non essential government agencies.
4. Make ALL government unions ILLEGAL.
5. Eliminate ALL laws that are anti-2nd Amendment.
6. Dismantle Obamacare
7. Audit the Federal Reserve
8. Cut ALL government agencies budgets by at least 50% the first year.
I know, I’m dreaming.
Yeah, okay. I’m in.
Reluctantly, because I have always hoped to work within the system.
But, heck. Screw the system. They’ve screwed US for long enough.
So... I’m in. As a last resort, but I do think it’s last resort time.
Hear, hear!
later
It comes down to that exactly. And we have a very real and simple choice. Give up or go with it. That’s it. Personally I have been gone from the GOP a while. Others like yourself are just there. It doesn’t matter who realized what, when. Ith important thing is another person sees reality and wants to change his future.
Good. However you got here, welcome.
