This carp has to stop. Enough of the establishment trying to dictate new rules when they lose by the ones they created.

Group Says There’s Interest in Third-Party Run From Governors, Senators

The stooges won't have a fund raising problem either.

The Clintons will be happy to set up a PAC for them with unlimited financing.

Never in my life have I seen so many supposed Republicans so willing to give up their freedom to Hillary Clinton..the one thing Trump has done is expose these people for what they are

If there is a 3rd party candidate it won’t be a Democrat. It will be a GOPe.

It isn't the number that have been contacted, it is the number that responds positively that counts.

If the polls are any indicator, Johnson is already running a fair 3rd party ticket.

It depends on who they run as to whether he/she will impact Clinton or Trump more.

Trump and Clinton. Sure.

They throw in `Hillary Clinton’ and `former secretary of state’ so that it isn’t obvious that their actual raison d’être is to bleed-off just enough votes from Trump to elect Hillary Clinton, former secretary of state.

Romney is an a$$whole with arms and the Bushes are no better, along with every other nevertrumper/Clinton supporter who still insists on being called a “true conservative”.

“It’s an American crisis moment, this is what it is”. These malcontents just won’t give up, figures that an ex Romney money-man is part of the group (so it’s plain to see who’s pulling the strings). The proverbial stab-in-the-back is at hand.

I don’t think I ever want to hear House GOPe Republicans talking about “maintaining discipline” by voting against their districts and for the leadership, ever again!

So all those uniparty media push polls showing a third party is getting
14 % or 15 % are pure BS !

The real polling must show Trump looking good otherwise why such panic but the Uniparty and the Hilary Media con jobs ?

Now, let's see, the same people who failed "We, the People" by not defending our rights of conscience from the dictates and censorship, regulation, redistribution and debt of "progressives" and their imperial president--these same people (Ryan, Boehner, McConnell, et al) whose failure to deny funding and halt those intrusions into our liberty, and aroused "the People" to vote for Candidate Trump, are now urging other Republicans to override their fellow Republicans' votes and choose their own candidate. Then, there's the failed 2012 candidate who couldn't put up a principled fight to save America from another four years.

No wonder the First President of this Republic issued a grave warning for future generations on the "dangers" of the "spirit of Party"!

George Washington on the Baneful Effects of Political Parties

“Let me now take a more comprehensive view, and warn you in the most solemn manner against the baneful effects of the Spirit of Party...”

Excerpts from George Washington’s Farewell Address
September 19, 1796
 

“... One of the expedients of Party to acquire influence, within particular districts, is to misrepresent the opinions & aims of other Districts. You cannot shield yourselves too much against the jealousies & heart burnings which spring from these misrepresentations. They tend to render Alien to each other those who ought to be bound together by fraternal Affection.
...

“All obstructions to the execution of the Laws, all combinations and Associations, under whatever plausible character, with the real design to direct, controul counteract, or awe the regular deliberation and action of the Constituted authorities are distructive of this fundamental principle and of fatal tendency. They serve to Organize faction, to give it an artificial and extraordinary force — to put in the place of the delegated will of the Nation, the will of a party; often a small but artful and enterprizing minority of the Community; and, according to the alternate triumphs of different parties, to make the public Administration the Mirror of the ill concerted and incongruous projects of faction, rather than the Organ of consistent and wholesome plans digested by common councils and modefied by mutual interests. However combinations or Associations of the above description may now & then answer popular ends, they are likely, in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the Power of the People, & to usurp for themselves the reins of Government; destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion.

“... in a country so extensive as ours, a Government of as much vigour as is consistent with the perfect security of Liberty is indispensable — Liberty itself will find in such a Government, with powers properly distributed and adjusted, its surest Guardian. It is indeed little else than a name, where the Government is too feeble to withstand the enterprises of faction ...

“I have already intimated to you the danger of Parties in the State, with particular reference to the founding of them on Geographical discriminations. Let me now take a more comprehensive view, & warn you in the most solemn manner against the baneful effects of the Spirit of Party, generally.

“This Spirit, unfortunately, is inseperable from our nature, having its root in the strongest passions of the human Mind. It exists under different shapes in all Governments, more or less stifled, controuled, or repressed; but in those of the popular form it is seen in its greatest rankness and is truly their worst enemy.

“The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge natural to party dissention, which in different ages & countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders & miseries, which result, gradually incline the minds of men to seek security & repose in the absolute power of an Individual: and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of Public Liberty.

“Without looking forward to an extremity of this kind (which nevertheless ought not to be entirely out of sight) the common & continual mischiefs of the spirit of Party are sufficient to make it the interest and the duty of a wise People to discourage and restrain it.

“It serves always to distract the Public Councils and enfeeble the Public Administration. It agitates the Community with ill founded Jealousies and false alarms, kindles the animosity of one part against another, foments occasionally riot & insurrection. It opens the door to foreign influence & corruption, which find a facilitated access to the government itself through the channels of party passions. Thus the policy and the will of one country, are subjected to the policy and will of another.
 

“There is an opinion that parties in free countries are useful checks upon the Administration of the Government and serve to keep alive the spirit of Liberty. This within certain limits is probably true--and in Governments of a Monarchical cast Patriotism may look with endulgence, if not with favour, upon the spirit of party. But in those of the popular character, in Governments purely elective, it is a spirit not to be encouraged. From their natural tendency, it is certain there will always be enough of that spirit for every salutary purpose. And there being constant danger of excess, the effort ought to be, by force of public opinion, to mitigate & assuage it. A fire not to be quenched; it demands a uniform vigilance to prevent its bursting into a flame, lest instead of warming it should consume."

<Why are these people called “conservative?” What does conservative mean these days? Certainly, anymore it does not mean such things as national sovereignty or limited govt. I wish these so-called “conservatives” would define their conservatism. Certainly whatever it is they believe, it is not what John Locke believed.

The whole scheme seems half-baked. On their website they claim they can get on the ballot in 48 states whose ballot access deadlines have not passed. But Texas is one of the states they have missed, and in some others, like Florida they would need to get almost 120,000 signatures by July 15th.

Unless they have a lot of experience in the actual process of getting large numbers of voter signatures collected, filed, and approved it seems unlikely that they will be able to get on the ballot in Florida or other states with deadlines in the next few weeks.

A decent, civilized candidate would be welcome instead of the two obscenities we’ve been presented with by tens of millions of bipartisan commies sucking their fat salaries and pensions from this socialist regime of recirculating debt.

Better for America” was set up to ensure a third party candidate will be on the ballot in all fifty states. John Kingston, a Boston-based conservative donor who bundled for Mitt Romney, is bankrolling the group, AND STRESSES THIS NEW EFFORT IS BIPARTISAN. THE GROUP HAS BEEN IN TOUCH WITH BOTH INDEPENDENTS AND DEMOCRATS — “senators, governors, congressman, highly regarded people from the Armed Services” - who are willing to take on the New York real estate mogul and former secretary of state.


Further confirmation of the Elite Uniparty!
