Agree. If bonehead dork Boehner doesn’t committ suicide in the next three weeks, I am no longer a Republican.

Don't just talk about it; do it!

Get this started NOW, and ready for 2014 Congressional and State Elections.

Of course, the Establishment OWNS all the Media, and the facts won't get out.

We'd see NOTHING but the constant, 24/7 bullshit against it/smears like Palin, Cain, Santorum, etc. recieved in the Primaries.

We are done....

Its going to happen eventually.

The trick is to avoid thinking it will spring to power and replace the GOP. You’ve got to build small, pick off a seat here and there and caucus with conservative republicans. Over time you can start pulling the conservative republicans into the fold.

Rove and Schmidt should come out of the closet, and switch parties.

The Libertarian party got one percent for the presidential election — in real terms that is huge — they did so spending fractions of a cent compared to republican and democrat advertisement.

After Christmas Herman...

Lets get through Thankgiving and Christmas and then we’ll talk next year...

But I think that the GOP types just might listen to reason and be willing and eagar to try something else...

like good sense and Conservatism...

“It’s still very unlikely that Cain or anyone else could start a viable third party,”

Ever hear of Sarah Palin? Many of us would be pleased to have her head a ticket.

Herman Cain felt some heat and left the kitchen.

A third party requires a Master Chef - Not a Dishwasher.

I'm beginning to consider this may be the way to go. Not that I think a third party can win on its own, it wouldn't be able to for decades. It would have to form a coalition with the GOP to win.

But I think there's strength in numbers - the GOP wouldn't be able to take conservatives for granted anymore and expect to keep the coalition intact. It would guarantee us a seat at the table selecting candidates, making policy, etc.

On the other hand, it may cause the GOP to finally just up & form a public alliance with the democrats. But then at least everyone's cards would be on the table.

Oh ya... third parties always out juuuuusst great.

The socialist party and the communist party stopped trying to be third parties because they wanted results more than principled voters so they took over the democrap party.

It is strange that he is upset at a narrow loss and is proposing and idea to loose by even greater numbers. Genius.

Sarah, TEA party. I can’t think of anything with more potential. The trick would be to get alot of the elected conservative to switch from GOP to the TEA party.

Just run as part of the Independent Party the way the stealth democrats run. It works.
