Boehner may have a legacy yet...
I don't want the GOP to have a chance if they stab us in the back this time. Bad enough they gave us McCain, but to back down on Obamacare, I'll vote third party and hope that enough do to make them lose and see that a lot more people agreed with the TEA Party than they thought.
No. We need a SECOND party to oppose the Big Government Leftist Democrat-Republican Establishment Cabal Party.
The problem with this is that I suspect most people who answered affirmatively would want a more moderate approach to the third party regardless of where they politically align now.
It would have been interesting to see that sort of follow up question.
Third Party ideas are supported by those who do not understand math.
If you do not have the numbers to control the Republican Party, how on Earth are you going to win when EVERYONE votes in the General Election?
imo, altering the Republican party to be a liberty party has a better chance of succeeding than growing a third party to power.
Some proposed names for new party
USIP - US Independence Party
TEA - Taxed Enough Already Party
Exactly!
A movement need to start somewhere. Its 25% vs 75% (GOP+DEM)
“If they allow Obamacare to stay, I will be voting third party.”
I have already called and emailed my Senator Burr and Rep Jones here in NC and said the same thing. Don’t think it will matter.
Amen! Well said.
The unofficial third party is the Tea Party. We are influencing elections! If we continue to hold firm and back conservatives in primaries we CAN make a difference !
Great idea.....a third Party. I love it! It will keep my party in power for decades to come,
Barack Obama
I didn’t dislike the man, but looking back I’ve concluded that Bush 43 mortally wounded the party.
Bush’s fault??? Good grief. Our problems are far bigger than what any one president did and they started long before Bush.
The idea is to completely kill the backstabbing GOP. So what if the Dems win. They suck less than the dems is no longer any reason to vote for the backstabbers.
We lose either way.
We do need a third party, but not they way they think. We need to split the Democrat party into Center-Left and Real Crazies (Green?).
If we split the ‘Pubbies all we do is guarantee Democrat dominance forever.
how on Earth are you going to win when EVERYONE votes in the General Election?”
They won’t win elections.
But the Republicans aren’t winning the elections that count, either.
So, we might as well have a message....
