It doesn't have to come to that. Constitution and Libertarian Party members could use the GOP to their advantage, if they were wise.
How many people here realize just how mortally wounded the Democrat Party is? The party of the jackass is dying and aborting itself like there is no tomorrow. And rightist third parties can deliver the death blow once and for all if they use the GOP, then split off.
America is a two-party system. The only question is which two parties will there be?
I am one of the people here who does not "realize just how mortally wounded the Democratic Party is." Their over all agendas are are not only accepted by most people, but even being furthered by the Republican Party. The traditional center line in the country between authoritarianism and freedom has moved toward more authoritarianism, of both left and right varieties. As I see it conservative and liberal visions of freedom are now lost in the bureaucratic and legalistic dust. I admit I may be wrong here, I have often missed the truth staring me in the face. So please enlighten.
...Constitution and Libertarian Party members could use the GOP...
How?
Keep in mind the Libertarian Party is not a conservative or rightwing party. It just has a conservative and rightwing agenda. Don't be fooled. I know, I'm a Libertarian.
