Oh brother. I thought anybody could beat Obama. We were told during the primary that we could put up anybody and guarantee a win. So we ended up with the worst nominee in history of the Republican party and now they are running scared and suing the third party folks. Good Lord this party sucks. We seriously need a Tea Party nominee next round.
Johnson is a POS. He ran in the GOP primary. Got wiped out fair and square. And now he’s trying to undermine the party that rejected him. He’s a poor loser.
If you don’t meet the criteria you shouldn’t be on the ballot. There will NOT be a run by Palin so quit drooling and get to work
At this point, most of the real libertarians will be voting for Romney, and the most of the ones voting for the LP will be the potheads that would otherwise either not vote or vote for Obama.
They do everything they can to keep third parties off the ballot, often times succeed, then turn around and squawk about how third parties can't get a foothold with the electorate.
Well, no wonder....
Not saying I love the whole GOP leadership. But, by way of analogy, much as it infuriates me to read how Patton was mistreated and exiled by Eisenhower et al, both before and after D-Day—especially when he was right about the Soviet Union—that doesn't mean I would have wanted to divide American forces so the Germans would win.
My analogy falls down in one respect: Obama is much more dangerous to American freedom than was Hitler.
Good. One more thing to help defeat 0bama.
Now can we do something about ACORN?
I read rumors about Palin and a third party, so thought I would throw this out there because this just seems wrong to me.
****************************************************************
The LAST THING that Sarah Palin would espouse would be a third party Presidential campaign. She loves her country too much for that, is too pragmatic and actually wants to move toward a conservative takeover of the bulk of the Republican party. And, with assistance of folks such as Palin, considerable progress is being made toward moving the makeup of our Republican elected candidates from RINOs toward true conservatives.
My guess is that the main thing this thread will serve will be as a magnet for those FReepers who are either foolish & shortsighted “I’ll only support 100% PURE conservatives” types or, in some cases liberal/progressive sleepers/saboteurs who are doing whatever they can to increase Obama’s chances of retaining office. This is IMHO.
No what is wrong is Soros and other uber wealthy Democrat fascists running around paying 3rd party fringe stooges to run as “Conservative” candidates in the hopes of splitting the votes.
Waste of time.
The GOP is about as democratic as the Dems
Seems the Republican Party is becoming more and more like the Democrat Party with each passing day, also a party of corruption and intolerance. Let them keep morphing into a liberal intolerant party of wrong headed ideas, it will not stop the rising up that is happening by more right-thinking conservative Americans growing more tired of the blue blood Republicans Party country club Elites tactics and its continuing move to the left of center politics.
Spare me—there’s nothing fiscally conservative about a candidate who favors open borders.
rumors , .
The libertarians and the Pauls bots can have their guys run but not on a republican ticket, it is about time they stopped trying to hyjack our party so they can spew their message.
Let them have their own platform, their own convention, their own nomination.
Good, get rid of that douchebag Goode.
LOL! Really? Read from where?
Palin isn't running as a third-party candidate. You can put the Vaseline away.
So the GOP is willing to sue third party candidates, but will not challenge the democrat party on the validity of their candidate???
Who is REALLY in charge of the GOP???
Looks to me like the GOP is secretly being taken over by the democrats.
I think voting for a 3rd. party in this cycle would be suicidally foolhardy.
That being said...where does the GOP get off determining who is and is not qualified for the ballot? All states have their qualifications, and if somebody is able to meet them they should get on the ballot.
Looks to me like a pre-emptive strike because they know sooner or later the Tea Party is going to be forced to split away and take them on.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
I remember studying something like this in college...
I recall it was “the Sugar Monopolies”
They were proven to be unConstitutional by the Supreme Court...
But theres nothing sweet about what Willard and his GOP-e goons are doing...
After all, peoples' memories are short, and our U.S. Constitution, the fundamental law of the land, is nothing more than a few words on paper that has only an historic - not a legal - significance. /s
Obama has done more to trample our Constitution and the fundamental laws of the land than the cumulative results of all prior presidents before him... and he wants 4 more years to complete the job.
I'm 63 years old, and I'm actually afraid of what he will do with another 4 years. I grew up and went to school when the nuclear scare was on, and we were all told to get down under our desks to protect us from nuclear fallout. Giving Obama another 4 years scares me a lot more than did the nuclear scare of the '50s and '60s.
I initially did not support Romney/Ryan, but let's face it. The will of the people is not to have a strong conservative candidate. And one will never muster enough votes to get elected. We live in a time when we must realize that we can't get all of what we want. Others have a voice. There are some issues we've already lost, some for quite a while. When we keep raising issues related to those when it's a no-win situation, we paint ourselves as extremists, and nobody hears our voices.
The primary issues are jobs, the economy, excessive spending, saving Medicare and Social Security, excessive government regulation, and voter integrity. I am confident that Romney/Ryan are on board with those.
We need to make sure that we get enough Republicans in the House and Senate to keep the House and get a majority in the Senate. This divisiveness in the ranks only hurts our cause. The Democrats continue to win because they don't have such divisiveness. We eat our own.
