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?

They won’t win elections.

But the Republicans aren’t winning the elections that count, either.

So, we might as well have a message....

We do have the numbers. The problem is that the establishment is very entrenched, and difficult to dislodge. That we have come so far in 4 years is truly remarkable, but these things take time. And the events of the last few weeks have been a huge "fast forward" button.

Well, Kansas58, you have a right to be wrong on this one. That is a common thought tossed out by folks who believe that the pubbies still represent Constitutional Principles, and as a consequence, they stand in opposition to the dhimmicraps.
Nothing could be further from the truth. A cursory review of the past few years leads one to the inescapable conclusion that the pubbies and the dhimmicraps have much more in common than at odds.
We understand math. And, now matter how you tally it, the current political landscape looks like this: D + R = STATUS QUO. And, STATUS QUO = D - R. The only for that to work out is if R = 0.
A third party, founded on conservative principles, and faithful to those principles, will take some votes from the GOPe, that’s true. However, if something doesn’t change, this nation will slide further down that slippery slope to socialism, regardless of which of the current parties is in ‘power’.
It is time for the people of this nation to reclaim their voice, to stand up to the dhimmicraps AND the pubbies, to let them all know that the power of this nation springs from its people.
A new Third Party, TEA Party if you will, is a grand place to start.

The Republican Party is supported by those who do not understand conservatism and principles.

Speaking as someone who has a significant level of mathematical expertise, you’re full of it. The only person in either party who has proposed a serious balanced budget is Ron Paul, who is no longer in office.

The math-aware also know that the Federal Reserve is presently engaged in destroying the US dollar a la Weimar. Outside of a handful of marginal Republicans and a couple of Dems, nobody outside of third parties is even talking about this.

The not-mathematically-challenged know that there will be massive defaults because more debt has been issued than there is actual income to pay off that debt (never mind paying for things like survival as well).

We, the mathematically literate, understand all about exponential growth curves and diminishing returns, and as a result understand that few in either party have any sort of serious grip on the mathematical reality of US finances at all.

This is the essential truth, like it or not. The path is to take over the Republican party and push out the RINOs, not try a Third Party. Those of us who went Tea Party at the beginning knew this would takes years and many election cycles.

40% conservative, 30% independent, 30% communist.

3-way, winner takes all. It is, in fact, the ONLY way we can win.

No, they are supported by those who know that there is not a dime's worth of difference between the Rats and the GOP.

I am amazed that there are any Freepers who continue to think that voting for the GOP makes a difference in spite of the overwhelming evidence that clearly shows it does not. Some of the most egregious big government legislation over the last 60 years have been enacted by GOP presidents.

Then, just when these people think that the GOP has managed to create a conservative Supreme Court, a bozo like Roberts shows that that isn't even true.

It doesn't make sense not to vote 3rd party.
