So, I put my question to you my fellow Freepers. Is it time to form our new party?

How can people claim to be common sense conservatives, then turn right around and perform unbelievable acts of mental gymnastics in order to justify her walking out of office?

The threat is there, why do you think Steele at the DNC is groveling now?

I am not sure that is the best approach, it would be easier to do it within the party. That said there are still many southerners who will “never” vote Republican. I know some, sad but they would knowingly vote for Satan himself first. (sign of ignorance)

So the real question is what is left of the Republican Party if the Conservatives bolt, and how much of the Dems realize that they have been taken for a ride by the Commies. (or care)

Next 6 months will be interesting. Dems imploding by failures in the “economy” and the public in open rebellion against their policies. And at the same time the Conservatives in a full frontal assault on the Left. It can happen.

I think it should be a prty within a party with its own funding and its own primary candidates and its own rallies.

No, it’s time to form a shadow party. I can see Palin taking the first steps.

She’s not looking to start a new political party or run for office.

I’ve never been a big fan of the third-party idea (after experiencing Ross Perot and a Canadian party that called itself C-CRAP). However, the two parties that we have at present are both looking increasingly hopeless.

Could Sarah Palin play the role of Lincoln as the first President of America's newest Party of power?

The fundamental problem is that on the central moral issue of our day, she is like Stephen A. Douglas, not Lincoln. She takes Gerald R. Ford's position, not Ronald Reagan's.

This thread is a case study in this problem.

However, since the Republican Party has quite obviously Whigged out, I agree that a new party is needed if we are to save the country.

That's why we founded America's Independent Party last year. If you click on my screen name, EternalVigilance, you can learn more about it.

Nope.

Time to clean the elitists out of the GOP,
then out of the government in general.

All these attacks upon Sarah, from both sides of the isle will only ensure one thing, and that is the inevitable end of the two party system.....

Is it time to form our new party?


Lots of new/old parties out there. Take your pick or form another which will be just that ‘another one’.

Until our Presidential electoral process is revamped a new party will be useless as they can’t field the necessary 270 electoral college votes to get anyone elected. They may however help keep a democrat or socialist in office.

A new party, if not done correctly, could split the Republican voters and assure that Democrats stay in power. I would much prefer that the Republican Party do the changing and start listening to the American People. We have seen other countries that have multiple parties and they fail because the votes become so split, they mean nothing.

" Many pundits and politicians have taken Sarah Palon to task for resigning her post as Governor of Alaska."

Ahem. How much credibility do you expect "our" new party to have?

Having an interesting chat here on Palin, and the future of America. Come and joins us.

I am not advocating a third party as some think, I am interested in a discussion of what if's.

As I said, those who attack Sarah, do so at their own political risk. So could the perception American's see of both parties attacking her set the stage for a historic change?

Remember, it is not just conservatives who see the double standard on display. Even Paglia, a hard core feminist has come to her defense. Sarah is building a coalition that is set to roll over this country. So what if? Just what if Americans do the unthinkable and actually take the next step in unison and leave BOTH parties to support her?

It won’t be the first time this has happened...Should she be the reason??? Should she be the leader of it???

In my opinion if thise were to happen, it would not be a weak position, or party to be associated with...There is a groundswell of support under the radar for this, and the second someone says go, it is going to be something to see...

And possibly be a part of...

And those people who look at this favorably, had better look beyond the name of this “new” party and look very closely at the “platform” (if they develop one before the announcement), take a look at those who put it together...

I don’t care if they call it the “Booger Picker” party...If it has groundings in true Conservative principles and the platform is consistent to those values...And not get bogged down in trying to please everyone and every issue...Then that would be very attractive to many people in this country right now...

I believe they should pull the trigger soon so we can get started on the local elections this year...Make an impact in 2010, and then decimate the political system in 2012...

Just my opinion...

As one of Sarah’s Kids said, “HELL YEAH!”

Time for the Freedom/Constitution party to get rolling.

No country that has a third party has ever risen to greatness.

Combersome, minority ruled coalitions yield tyranny and mediocrity. - They open the door to government by back room deals.

Probably not, but the lame moronic RINOs in the Stupid Sparty will.

What evidence do you have for the claim that Sarah believes in "limited government?" About the only specific position I know of is her support for giving more aid to "special needs children." Beyond that, all we are vague slogans and soundbites. For example, has she taken a position on ANHY of the following:

No Child Left Behind The War on Drugs

Until she takes stands on issues like this, she will never be anything more than a Republican Obama.
