Birth of a New Political Party

Okay, so I'm a nut about US political history. This has happened before. It can happen again.

Right now, I would not vote Republican, and of course, will not vote dim-bulb-crat. So, perhaps a new party is in order if the Repubs cannot get rid of the idiots running the party and find someone who can spell “leadership”.

"However, if a majority of Republicans and a minority of Democrats all support these four issues -- obey the Constitution, cut taxes, reduce government control of lives of Americans, and support term limits..."

IF that happens....we'd call them REAL REPUBLICANS! and Americans!

[TexasFreeper2009]

A viable 3rd party candidate running in 2012 is the only way in the world the zero could be reelected.

Don't fall for this.

Reforming and redirecting the republican party needs to be our focus. We will accomplish nothing excepting the reelection of the zero with a 3rd party.

[Citizen Soldier]

Call it the Patriot Party. Instead of an animal as a mascot let them have a tea bag for a mascot.

[Linda Frances]

The Conservative Party

[scrabblehack]

I may have pointed this out to you before but many years ago, Eric Sevareid said that major parties have not degenerated into 3rd parties (maybe you could argue this part), and that 3rd parties do not rise to the level of major parties....small sample size though...

[goodnesswins]

“The Conservative Party”...yep...that’s what REAL REPUBLICAN’S USED TO BE!!!

[Uncle Ike]

bttt

[Shaka]

Screw that..I’m gonna take my Party back ! The Party of Reagan! We will lead it...forget the business managers and smooth talkers in the RNC..get the hell out of the way! We will lead and you (RNC)will follow We the People!

[antceecee]

Geez... they will have to choose a mascot...what will it be...what will go up against the elephant and the donkey?

[TaMoDee]

Two votes for Conserative Party, Me and Mrs. TaMoDee.

[ansel12]

How do social conservatives fit into the new party?

[rabscuttle385]

Stuff it.

If a RINO like Romney captures the nomination, I'm going third-party (Constitution or Libertarian) again. And this time, I'm not going to waffle like I did with McNuts.

Congressman Billybob, we are in total agreement with you. Everytime I get an envelope from the Republicans, I don't even bother opening it - it goes straight into the grinder! The image below says it all as to how we feel about the Republican party.

Congressman Billybobp, we like this image of Sarah and Reagan as well.

Here's to You Sarah - maybe it should be called the

"Palin Party"




Go Sarah Go!
Run Sarah Run!!

In other words, Obambi 2012.

[Windflier]

With all due respect, I believe that the patriotic right would effectively doom the republic to an historic failure, and hand a monumental victory to the evil, Marxist, left by creating a third party at this pivotal and perilous moment.

The America of our forefathers and of the Founders would likely not survive intact from such a move by our side.

As much as many of us are disgusted with the Republican party, the answer is NOT to abandon that recognized and established base of power, to begin creating a new one.

If we politically fracture ourselves a la 1992, we will endure something much worse than Clinton - or even Obama.

Strategically, I don’t believe that we have any choice but to re-take the Republican party as our first line of attack against the treasonous left.

[skinkinthegrass]

thanks, for the information / thread / post.

[Congressman Billybob]

I said nothing whatsoever about the election of 2012. If a new majority can take over Congress in 2010, whatever it is called, it can by 2012 take over the shell of the Republican Party, rename it, and be the only game in town to run against Obama in 2012.

That, too, is part of the early history of all of the "take over" parties, beginning with the Republican-Democrats.

Read with better care, next time. John / Billybob
