Don’t go third party. That will only split the vote on the right. Instead, take the GOP back from the linguine spine “moderates” and make it into a true alternative to the ‘Rats instead of just the “me, too, but not quite so fast” party.
One day while talking to someone I thought was conservative, realized he was a Ron Paul supporter. But before he could tell me, I just said, “People who support a 3rd party candidate are really just supporting the opposing party. There is a time for 3rd party candidates, but when the stakes are so high for America, people need to be smart about it.” To this he just walked away.
The primary election for our city council is tomorrow.
I'll be there voting.
I’d settle for a Second Party.
I ran across a very interesting short piece that sheds light on the “Red Scare” and Hollywood. Along the lines of:
“Lawrence reported directly to party headquarters in New York, which in turn reported its activities to officials in Moscow. There, Comintern boss Willie Muenzenberg declared, “One of the most pressing tasks confronting the Communist Party in the field of propaganda is the conquest of this supremely important propaganda unit, until now the monopoly of the ruling class. We must wrest it from them and turn it against them.” MORE at the address below:

Talk of a third party is just that...talk. Period. Nothing but a lot of hot air. The fact is the Conservative Movement does not have the time or resources to fund such an enormous underataking. If history is any guide, a third party would only serve to siphon off votes from the Republican Party thus ensuring President Soetero’s re-election.
We do not have a billionaire version of George Soros in our ranks willing to bankroll such an effort. Our resources are limited and should be concentrated in our Party. EVERY single member of the House voted against the Porkulous bill. We are pretty much unified right now. The GOP has always had a conservative platform. We just need to recruit candidates who live up to it.
I don’t think people who talk about forming third parties have a clue about how complex such a task is as every state has different standards and procedures to qualify getting on the ballot. This is truly an immense undertaking that would squander resources our movement doesn’t have, not to mention the enormous distraction it would cause from the task at hand.
I have been active in conservative and Republican causes for many years. I have learned that nothing in life is perfect, least of all politics. I will take a glass half full over an empty glass any day of the week. I know there is no such thing as utopia or perfection in the real world and political progress is measured in inches not miles. We must work within the institutions and resources we have. We must take back our Party and re-brand it with our long held traditional philosophy of limited government, low taxes, free market capitalism, traditional values, rule of law, and a strong defense and secure borders.
I promised myself after having to swallow my own bile as I cast my vote for McLame that I’d not do that again.
I pray the GOP doesn’t make me have to consider going back on my word. Because I’m not sure that I would.
