Yo Herman, tell me more.
The 9-9-9 Party?
He’s right. The Dims are communists and the GOP is a broken relic.
Splitting the vote won’t help.
Love and apparently West lost. Dems won’t cross party lines.
This was winnable. Obama had ten million fewer votes. Our voters were scared off by the negative ads. The divide and conquer attack game worked.
Cain needs to stick to pizza.
Third party = ballot garbage can.
When Sarah quit the governorship a couple of friends called and asked me what I thought. My gut told me she is going her own way, going around them and perhaps form another party...
It maybe time, will she be the person that builds anew as the GOP goes the way of the Wigs? Darned if I know, but personally I don't think our energies should be in changing the political but focus on survival...
did 3rd party votes hand victory to Obama? We need more than a third party.
And I hope people do not start spreading the usual nonsense about the GOP being a third party. It never was.
What needs to happen is for conservatives to beat the GOPe internally. They had two bites at the apple in a row. It is our turn now.
A third party effort may be too late to do any good.
Heck, I’d be satisfied if we could manage to get a second party.
If people like him and Sarah are the faces of it, I am there. If we can siphon off people like Allen West, it could be really dynamic.
And my opinion of Cain continues to plummet. Taking the ball and going home isn’t going to fix anything. Conservatives have to fix the GOP from the inside if they want any chance of stopping liberalism — a third party merely entrenches the libs.
Voted Constitution Party for POTUS this election. First time I have ever voted 3rd party in over 40 years of voting.
I don’t see the GOP fixing things. The day after the election the speaker of the house is talking about “compromise” and TV talking heads are saying we need to be more “inclusive” whatever the heck that means but it does not sound conservative to me...sounds like we want to be more like the Democrats

We’re on the verge of switching our enrollment from R to I just to lessen the GOP number on the record. The GOP needs to retire and be replaced by a new 2nd party.
They’ll be identifiable by their hats and walking canes.
He is right, but by the time we get it established (a couple of more election cycles) there won’t be anything left to save.
I think he’s right about the ability to rebrand Republican at this point. The Left has changed their name many times. They were Progressives, then Liberals, then Progressives. A viable third party does not need to win, it just needs enough power that both sides have to appeal to it in order to win, a super caucus as it were. The Independent Party. Let them try to make fun of and demonize that name.
I am kind of in agreement regarding a third party. Before Tuesday, I thought that they were a drain on the GOP in elections and caused loses for our side. But now I’m thinking that since the Tea Party hasn’t been able to turn the party back to it’s a Conservative roots, that it’s time to look at another strategy.
We need a conservative party in deed and not just in name.
