We will merely allude to Michael Steele's perennial circus act to look beyond to 2012, where we have one announced candidate, the immortal Mr. Newt Gingrich, whose most recent sojourn is a national tour with the most Rev. Al Sharpton.

Newt also did a political ad with Pelosi in support of the global warming fallacy and he may run for President. It's another example how the OP(formerly the GOP) has incrementally merged with the socialist RATs to form one big Socialist Republicrat party.

Both parties worked to impose centralized interventionist policies. The Republican slogan was "the same program, but slower," its major selling point the contention that it could emplace collectivist policies more "responsibly" than the Democrats.

The socialist Republicrat party has been moving the country twoards socialism for a long time.

John Cornyn has already stated that the party will make no attempt to repeal ObamaCare. If the GOP won't tear down that monstrosity, what good is the GOP?

Too many people are hinging their hopes the OP(formerly the GOP) to repeal the unconstitutional Obamacare. It will be ultimately up to the people to stop Obamacare by openly defying the BO/BS regime.

The Tea Parties are not Republican

They are being incrementally co-opted by the OP(formerly the GOP)with more OP candidates making appearances at local and national tea party events. The Tea Party movement began in opposition to both wings of the OP yet more groups are endorsing OP candidates and Michele Bachmann is trying to co-opt the tea party movement with her Tea Party Caucus.

What's the alternative? Not a future as a third party.

Dunn doesn't see the forest for the trees. He writes in the preceding paragraphs how similar the parties are but then makes a comment based on the erroneous premise they are two distinct parties. We have only one big socialist Republicrat Party under the deception of two different names. Names alone don't make them distinct from each other. Ideology determines the character of a party. The RATs and the OP have been moving in the same direction for decades. Another party will restore the two party system.

It defies logic how Conservative keep insisting to retake a party that no longer exists but in the past has shown nothing but disdain for Conservatism. Repeatedly returning to that party is the political version of battered wife syndrome. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing repeatedly expecting a different result. Unfortunately Conservatives have been implementing this insanity for many years and still do so today. Twenty five years of this failing strategy needs to end now. It's time for Conservatives to wake up and break from the socialist Republicrat party by uniting under a party based on strong Conservative values. That is not the OP.

Actually try READING the thread one time instead of just knee jerk responding. A "third party" is exactly what the the poster of this thread is advocating.

Here's the GOP's new slogan:

We Suck (slightly) Less

The GOP leadership is beyond pathetic. They richly deserve to lose but will gain a few seats by default because Obama and the Democrats are truly corrupt and incompetent.
