“For this survey, the respondents were asked to assume that the Tea Party movement organized as a new political party.”
OK- for a minute I thought checking FR every third day wasn’t enough - that someone formed a party while I was asleep.
Interesting that so many respondents latched right onto this concept and it somewhat answers the Dem machine rallying cry that the repub party is going extinct.

Are you saying that the Conservatives in both the Democratic & Republican parties, along with the Independents who see themselves as Conservative, MIGHT actually have enough of a voting block and CAMPAIGN MONEY to spin off a SUCCESSFUL Third Party?
UPFRONT, let me say I think it's WISER to instigate a HOSTILE TAKEOVER of the GOP. Actually, I think that's happening at this very moment. Steele and the RNC see the Tea Partiers as an ally a point on which I believe they are sorely mistaken! Party recognition DOES has its merits. Looking back at the 2004 and 2008 RNC Platforms, the problem has NOT been with the Platform, but the CANDIDATES that rise up for election, AS A RESULT of sabotage and support of those RINO Candidates from the Left and the MSM.
Perot had some GOOD ideas, like * Lack of Balanced Budget Amendment caused dollars decline. (Jul 1996) IF Palin were to run as a Third Party candidate which I'm NOT entirely sure she would she would most-certainly be a WITHOUT a doubt. |
