The Whig party was basically formed as a "second" party to oppose the democratic party...not a third party...
I might add this isn't 1825...it's 2014 where money is the tool of power not political principles...
I'm not opposed to a third party in principle, but it's doomed to fail for lack of money...
But...
is it doomed for lack of patriotic ideology? AKA, Declaration of Independence and fealty to the US Constitution? If you agree to that concept, then we (patriots) have lost both the skirmish and war; bend over, cover your genitals and expect the worst.
I contend that a majority of citizens of the USA would rather we “protect, defend and uphold” the Constitution of The United States rather than just “follow the money”. From my personal investigations (yep, anecdotal!), most folks think that ^more money = political win^.
That is what patriots need to change in the minds of voters...because the voters aren’t getting the millions of dollars “distributed” by the politicians.
Philly n*****rs get $100 of ^walking around^ money. How does that change their lives other than they can get another $100 in 2 years for the next cycle? P-tui!
