The men who put the knife in my back are not my friends.

I’m not going to vote them into power anymore.

I’m going to vote aginst them.

Republican = enemy.

Sorry grandma, actions have consequences and so do inactions, and the GOP is guilty of both. My loyality, respect, trust and support must be earned by actions and deeds, and they have earned my malice.

We already have around 40 so-called “third parties”, none of them have gone anywhere so why will another one. Anyone who believes yet another one is going to solve any problems has to also believe in Santa Claus.

I think they believe because they remember Ross Perot in '92.

yours is a good post to remind folks that we have well over 100 parties in this country. Some of them are meaningful and some aren't ~ for instance the Republican party of Texas is highly meaningful and the Democrat party of New York is certainly as meaningful.

Think federally and you'll understand the concept.

Now, where does the problem come from inside the Republican party? It's a critter we call the GOP-e. Although a mere faction with at most a 15% reliable following, they throttled the Republican National Committee ~ and its various agencies and committees.

We can no longer win elections anywhere in the country with the assistance of the RNC ~ Romney wasn't the only loser, nearly two dozen Republican party candidates for US Senate around the country LOST! We even had the spectacle of Preibus, the administrative officer for the RNC holding up campaign funds for an official senate candidate ~ on what seem to have been the orders of a hired consultant, Karl Rove!

We need to disestablish the RNC and replace it with a NEW RNC with different personnel, different rules, a different agenda and a different relationship with the state parties!

That can be done by forming that NEW RNC and inviting the state committees to send delegates ~ maybe we can start with Texas

Finally - someone that gets it. Yes, that and alot more, from the bottom up.

In my opinion, most who want a third party want it because they want to be a power broker within it. I’ve seen those types and they are egos looking for a cause to destroy with their own megalomania.
