This bombshell from Glenn Beck is about three minutes into the segment on Thursday. Beck said leaving the governor’s mansion in Alaska was a smart move.
Beck: “Smart move. And I think she’s also positioning herself for a third party. By the time this election runs around for the president, I’m sorry, but unless the Republicans and the Democrats wake up, a third party will win.”
We shall see how that works out. Many people are angry at Republicans right now. The message sent to Dede Scozzafava is being noticed in Washington. Believe me. But 3 years is a long time in politics. We shall see.
It is time to begin thinking more about the person being considered for public office than for the party.
Also of note:
Why are leftist women jealous of Palin
Not entirely true...
United States presidential election of 1860
The Republican Party began life as a 3rd Party, alongside the Democrat Party and the disintegrating Whig Party.
It could be argued that the modern day Republican Party is falling apart just like the Whigs did in the 1850s, with the possible emergence of a true Conservative Party arising out of its ashes. Hopefully.
Palin never suggested something like this. Beck is over his head on this. What we see in NY is Conservatives sending the GOP a message that we will retake the party. 3rd Party in 2012 is nonsense (yet).
Conservatives have been moving toward taking back control since then
Today will be a good indicator of that movement
A third party at this point would be demagoguery not principled politics--Sarah Palin is smarter than that Glenn...
Beck is probably “over his head on this” but I’m still happy he’s making this argument regularly. We have been let down so significantly by our ‘republican leadership’ over the past 20 years, and it gets worse and worse each year. So it’s great that Beck is scaring the hell out of them, and that Sarah is scaring the hell out of them. And us, too, scaring the hell out of them with the tea parties and the activism.
Isn't Hoffman a Republican running on a third party ticket?? He wouldn't be running as the Conservative party candidate at all if there had been a primary instead of a back room deal to put Scuzzy on the ticket as the Republican.
I dunno about that....imo, running as a GOP is a mark against a candidate in my book, not a good thing.
Tie goes against the GOP.
Lieberman is just a confused old man (as am I) who has no idea where he sits on so many issues.
It all depends on whether or not his morning oatmeal repeats on him or not.
But...I'll repeat my question...WHAT third party?
Doug Hoffman's emergence in NY-23 was the first shot across the bow. The strategy is for conservative leaders to let the Washington/New York RINO axis know that they need to lead, follow, or get the hell out of the way. In the end, they will not lead, but being preternaturally attracted to power as much as any Democrat, they will follow, and the person they will follow will be Sarah Palin or someone very much like her.
Look at all these people stuck on the stupid party!
I won’t vote for her as a third party candidate. That assures another democrat win.
“A party based on strong Conservative principles will be the second party.”

Exactly right.
However, how “mainline Republicans”, of the type that selected McCain as the Republican presidential candidate, view things is very important. I’m not sure if they are astute enough to leave the Republican Party.
This indicates that you will vote GOP over a Conservative candidate and that you expect others to do so as well.
The GOP is too big of a boat to turn around at a rate which will improve things. It’s much easier to be Democrat-lite than it is to be conservative and stand for conservative principals.
Palin Runs—She is the Party!
Stick your 3rd party where the sun doesn’t shine!
I love Beck and we agree 99.9% of the time, but not on this. He always tell us to “stand up”...it’s about time that we do exactly that and take our party back.
Reality check time, people.
If the GOP nominating process is front loaded with liberal states that permit cross-party voting, Palin will not be the candidate.
Repeat. She WILL NOT be the candidate.
So it may be third party, or nothing.
Folks gripe and bitch about the GOP and RINOs but will stick with them thick or thin, won't you?
As it stands today, I'd vote for her on any party ticket.
As long as you personally will put party affiliation over the candidate you will continue swallowing what the GOP puts before you.
Calling someone a RINO now seems to be accusing one of Bestiality. Accusing Rush this A.M. the libs are truly out of it. Moo, Oink, Baa, Woof, Cackle....
