no, a third party would give Obama a 2nd term.
This is a pipe dream, and a bad one at that. Will the third party be the perfect moderate party that the Joe Scarboroughs of the world think the American people are clamoring for? Or will it be a true conservative party? It definitely won’t be to the left of the Democrat Party. In any case, it’s the Republicans, conservatives and moderates, who will lose.
We could become more like Latin America, where everyone who thinks he has a good idea starts a party and where there are so many parties no one can keep track of them.
Save Sarah Palin, there is no Republican out there I will vote for.
If she doesn’t get nominated, my vote is definitely going to be third party.
All right. This division was partially responsible for our loss in 2008. Try changing things from within the Republican party. Sorry to be so blunt but BO is destroying our country and the people that said they would never vote for a RINO are partially at fault.
Depends on if the third party was conservative or socialist.
Ross Perot deliberately split the conservative vote with his fake party so that Clinton could win. I am sure the Clinton's rewarded him handsomely.
If it's a Dennis Kucinich Party, goodbye Barry Falsewitness.
‘We could become more like Latin America, where everyone who thinks he has a good idea starts a party and where there are so many parties no one can keep track of them.’
Sounds like a plan.
Like RAT control, do you? You’re wanting more of the same.
Oh, I know come election day, everyone will vote Anti-Obama, but the cycle will continue of the lesser of two evils, and that cycle is destroying our country.
Not really. McCain got the conservative vote when he nominated Palin. 2008 was entirely due to a crappy campaign by McCain.
We already have a third party: conservatives. Now if we can only yank the Republican party back from the RINO’s and give it to Palin.
A 3rd party couldn’t get enough votes state by state to secure 270 votes in the Electoral College. Hell Perot got about 19% of the popular vote but zero EC votes.
HANNITY/PALIN OR PALIN/HANNITY WOULD BE FUN!!!!
Perot could have done significantly better had he chosen someone like Sam Nunn instead of “Who am I? What am I doing here?” Admiral Stockwell.
Which is the functional equivalent of voting for the socialist rats.
If a 3rd party could raise at least $200 million, then maybe it can win the White House.
BTW, have any of the 3rd parties (Green, Libertarians, Constitution,, etc.), bothered to report their July fundraising activities?
