sorry for the typos...long day
The Republicans are NOT as bad as the Democrats.
A BIG part of the answer to your question is about mid-way through Part 2.
Please DO NOT misunderstand my reasons for producing these two videos. If folks want to gather together to let “them” know that “we,” like Howard Beal in “Network” are “…mad as hell and not going to take it any more…,” it’s STILL – for the time being anyway – a relatively free country so we can do that.
All I’m saying here is that, especially in tough economic times, there are more EFFICIENT and EFFECTIVE ways to expend our FINITE RESOURCES.
It’s not as much fun as sweating on the Mall but there IS a better – and less costly — way to scare hell out of “them” — and you won’t even have to leave home.

Keep working within the party. Take out the rinos. Elect conservatives.
Let’s see how Hoffman does without the support of the “moderate”(RHINOS) . If he wins, we may yet have a chance of bringing constitutional values back to this country.
It needs to organize but the moment it gets a “leader” its all over.

I agree. Everything is relative, but there is no comparison, on the whole. For sure. Regardless, too bad they have lost their will to really fight and not just vote against DemonRat socialist legislation.
Absolutely, the repubs are not bad...just shed the party of the RINOS...This thrird party idea will guarantee O another term and rid both houses of congress of the very hard working conservatives...We have almost 100% repulbicans in Louisiana, with the exception of sister mary landreau and now melancon a congressman running against Vitter our Repub senator...and of course our star governor Jindal who is cleaning up this state. I listen to glenn beck but he tends to lump all of the congress as not worthy...this not true here in La. and hsi antics will lead to a third party the will NEVER win...
Hey, maybe we could split off into a third party and thereby insure that the democrats stay in power forever?
Think about it. That’s exactly what would happen.
>The Republicans are NOT as bad as the Democrats.
That’s right, they’re WORSE; at least the Democrats push for their stated platform-goals...
That's what I've determined to do as well.

You’re wrong; look at the democrat party as-is; even though they have near-total control of the government they can’t get a lot of things done (health-care is stalled for the moment & cap-n-trade doesn’t look like it’s going to pass with flying colors), they’re splintering themselves.
I for one am not going to be voting Republican to keep Democrats out... I refuse the doom/gloom you project on all other options.
Quit looking for the perfect mass movement to submerge yourself into and do all you're big enough to do as an individual. Leave the Collectivist thinking to the Left.
It is a really good question. I agree that 3rd parties do not work in this day and age (even though I do wish it was possible).
I think we really need to communicate our displeasure with the GOP by attending meetings, sending back every request for funds with a note as to why they will not get them, and above all else....supporting true conservative candidates with money and time. Sooner or latter even a dunderhead like Steele will be able to put the pieces together.
I also think that we should start pushing the GOP to adopt a system like the the caucuses that the dems have in order to purify presidential primary results in open primary states. Allowing your opposition to choose your candidate in any way shape or form is just stupid.
They are worse. With the dems we know what we have. With the republicans, they campaign against the dems and then fall in step with them once elected
Your cunning plan has a problem in McCain, Snowe, Graham, and Collins. It’s a bona fide loser.
The way things are going my bets are on Snake Plissken.
I'd rather be supporting candidates with views and ideas I can vote for.
