Way past time [for a third party].

Iron Matron mentions the Constitution Party. They seem to be "purists," which may not always work in politics. But I admire the strength of their convictions, even if I don't always agree with them.

Something tells me that with a large influx of Republicans, pro-life Zell Miller Democrats, and right wing (non-anarchist) Libertarians, they would be able to fine tune their political message to reach a wider group of Americans.

"...they would be able to fine tune their political message to reach a wider group of Americans."

And therein lies both a challenge and a danger. How to fine tune in such a way as to encourage the conservatives without at the same time taking on another herd of liberals and moderates. The former being dangerous while the latter is basically useless because you can never, not ever, count on a middle-of-the-roader.

They do seem to be purists..I imagine the Founding Fathers were as well!

I don't really agree with their Election Reform platform (they want State and Local Control, but that can "add up" to fraud in Federal elections)..other than that, I must say I agree with the rest of their platform.

Of course, I have been considered by some to be an "isolationists" and maybe that is not always a good thing for the USA..in these days and times.
