You are speaking more of the GOP brand which at this point is about as good as ACORN.

See the funny thing about true conservatives...they are not afraid to pay the price to do the right thing.

You want to jump into a process that relies on manipulation, half-truths to get the uniformed “masses” to vote for a certain party.

Only those bold enough, brave enough as our fore-fathers will understand just how important it is to restore our Constitution. People do work that way...that is how we got the USA to begin with.

Until we are bold enough and brave enough to walk in the shoes of our fore-fathers we will continue the same insanity that we do today.

To win as a Non-Rep or Non-Dem you need an informed voting population. That is what has to happen.

The only reason you feel forced to work within a broken system is because you think it is too hard to do otherwise - that isn’t American - we have never opted for the easy road until this generation and look where we are.

The "GOP brand" is as good as the people we have at the forefront. It was good with Reagan, it can be good again with Palin. And there are plenty of patriots still left in the GOP - many of them are here on FR. Stop peddling FUD.

I agree.

Now, to educate the uninformeed masses in order to support your 'pure' third party you need lots of money and media exposure. Where do you propose that comes from? I'm looking for simple, straight answers, and so far, I don't think you have them.

My proposal is to work in the current system, using manpower, funding, infrastructure and the brand name (because it is only a small minority that sees the brand damaged in the way you do). The conservative element has a foothold, as demonstrated in the whole NY-23 situation. I think this is the approach Gov. Palin is shooting for. Tea Parties are great for energizing the Conservative Base and enacting a GOP takeover, but even that isn't going to be sufficient to build a brand-new third party on a national level.

Let's hear something concrete from you. HOW do you propose informing the population? HOW do you propose to convince member of both parties to walk away and join you? HOW will you procure the billions of dollars needed to do it?
