Been saying it for years,

TIME FOR A 3RD PARTY.

Libertarian, Constitution,Conservative,TEA, all join forces to destroy the right-wing of the Democrat party, the RINO/GOP.

More and more people are registering as "Independent"

Polls are showing that their ideas and values, however, lean conservative.

I would think the Independence Party would draw from both sides.

Pledge to end Obamacare and work to bring jobs back to America, and that for the next election cycle it's hands completely off social issues.

But what would also have to be done is what the Commies do....run a far left "whacko" at the same time to siphon off the votes of those who think Dear Reader is moving fast enough.

Defund the GOP. Donate to Tea Party candidates directly. Load 'em up with cash. Let the RINOs get their funds from the Oboma suporters.

There was an recent poll that was shocking.

I’m looking for the source.

Independents support for 0bama went from 49% in March/April THIS YEAR to something like 17%.

Doesn’t the partial government shutdown also partially stop funds from going to Obamacare (at least temporarily)? If so, it’s a job well done (imo).

ESTABLISHMENT GOPERS ASSAIL TEA PARTY ON SHUTDOWN

I hope those GOPERS have enough brain cells not to tinker at all with the Obamanation. If they change even one comma, they will own it.

They are stupid enough to forget history and experience.

Insist on Repeal, or no change at all!

When it implodes, taking the economy, and perhaps the entire country with it, I can hear the babbling now beginning with the main moonbat Pelosi...

Obamacare failed because the Tea Party GOP delayed it by three months.

Obamacare failed because the Tea Party GOP insisted that it should contain no arbitrary, capricious and unconstitutional political exemptions,

Obamacare failed because the Tea Party GOP insisted on making Congress and ALL Federal employees subject to the same laws as everyone else.

Obamacare failed because the Tea Party GOP kept bringing up Constitutional restraints.

Obamacare failed because the Tea Party GOP unreasonably expected a perfectly working computer system to administer the program in only four years.

Obamacare failed because the Tea Party GOP exploited the petty claim that the cost of implementation had a overrun of only 800%!

Obamacare failed because the Tea Party GOP exploiter the fact that Obama totally failed to satisfy all 6 claims he made of savings and improvement to the old private enterprise system proposed to replace.

Allow a community activist to administer the greatest economic power on earth, and what can go wrong?

Please feel free to add additional probable whines from the Democratic congressional vintners.

I posted this on another thread about the Tea Party.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3077832/posts?page=79#79

I agree.

And this will not be easy.

The establishment of both Dems and Rinos will work to discredit them. Not the message but the messengers.

We are living in a time where “All publicity is good publicity” no longer applies.

Sadly there are way too many voters whose opinions are formed by the opinions of others.

The meme going forward will look like this:

“Everybody knows” the Tea Party is Racist !!

“Everybody knows” the Tea Party is Radical !!!

“If you don’t know this, you must be stupid”

Opinions will be formed by inference and association, by peer pressure without consideration of the ideas being advanced.

I can’t stress this enough:

The Challenge is not the MESSAGE it is the MESSENGER !!!!!

When your opponents frame the debate as one between a Racist and a caring person, who are they going to listen too ?

I have proposed tactics in the past that may begin to undermine the power structure.

Tactics that I know will work, but need to be done in a way that does not expose the source of the message.

It’s not an end all, but just another front in this war against the Statists.

2014 and 2016 candidates need to stand against only a few things to win an overwhelming victory.

NSA/FBI/DHS etc... privacy issue.

IRS...issue

0bamacare/Government control issue

Crony Capitalism issue...

That’s it.

Keep it simple.

Stay on target.

I agree.

Any compromise by the GOP on Zerocare, any changes, delays etc .. Is an admission that it is a program that is here to stay and they are willing to fix certain issues on the edges. The result would be a program that will explode in cost and complexity. In for a penny ? in for a pound.

The Tea Party and the “GOP”, should simple sit back and say I told you so. We’ve been telling you.

Establishment GOPer’s don’t really care if this Obamanationcare becomes entrenched.

They seem happy to just show up for the fight.

Do you have any idea how much money they (Rinos) can raise over the next dozen years by keeping this fight alive ?

What would happen to the National Cancer Foundation if Cancer was cured ?

What would happen to any number of “causes” if they actually achieved their sated goals ?

They would be out of money and out of a job.
