A third party is a fools errand....

This sentence should be a MUST READ for all Freepers every morning before breakfast.

This fantasy of a third party is indeed a fools errand. We can take over the GOP. If we weren't such a threat to do so we would be ignored instead of attacked.

“If we weren’t such a threat to do so we would be ignored instead of attacked.”

Ding ding ding, we have a winner.

The GOP fights us harder than the Democrats because WE are the existential threat to them. They can live with the Democrats, forever if necessary, but they cannot co-exist with us if we actually get our act together.

Nonsense. The only fantasy is that we can take over the GOP. That simply is not going to happen. A third party may be a long-shot. But a long-shot is better than a no-shot, which is what trying to fix the party from within, is.

Trying to take over an entrenched progressive party is a fool`s errand! Now that should be required reading.

I agree. Take over the GOP - lock, stock, and barrel. We built it anyhow, not the political hacks and deal makers who took over while we slept and now run it.

Let them start their own third party. It will fail just as they are failing now.

A fool is someone who believes they can "takeover" the GOP.

A new Party for Conservatives, Reagan Democrats and Tea Party supporters is inevitable.

The only way the GOPe will ever be politically destroyed is to have a new party.

Staying within the GOP is suicide. Our Republic will be destroyed before any takeover of the GOP could see the light of day.
