Let's talk reality for a second. Although I sympathize and support your goals, let's look at history.
1) No independent party has won the White House in a century.
2) How long are you willing to be out of power to make an independent party viable? In 1994, the PCs were defeated in Canada. They have returned to power 12 years later as a minority party. The question to ask is: How much pain are you willing to endure for how long?
pardon me, Bennett feels Sarah is not the future of the Party, I disagree with him and IMHO he has been drifting leftward for a while, I call them as I see them.
That’s right.
If Sarah Palin couldn’t beat 0bama in 2008 as a Republican, how could she beat him in 2012 while splitting the vote with a Republican?
There just aren’t enough votes out there for her to make up the difference. There aren’t even enough Palin supporters out there to outnumber 0bama supporters at the polls.
The idea is a non-starter. Instead, the GOP needs to field a strong candidate and get a unified message. All the intra-party divisions Sarah Palin and her supporters are creating only helps 0bama win reelection.
I’m not even sure Palin is really on our side. I think she is here to sabotage the GOP, create division, and help 0bama win. Her 2008 implosion was very convenient for 0bama, don’t you think? Interesting that she went to college in Hawaii, too... she must have met 0bama there and hatched a nefarious plot to make him Dictator for life. All if going according to plan. They now enter Phase II...
As to your question #2: Having seen what the GOP has become, what it stands for [nothing], and who leads it, the answer is “As long as it takes”.
And I don’t think it’ll be that long. Il Douche and his assclowns will see to that.
