Tea Party should become a third party and rename itself “Constitution Party.” As has been said elsewhere, all the experts said it’d be suicide to form a separate party, and that we had to work with the GOP. Given what we’ve seen from Murkowski, Crist, and the rest (not to mention much of the mainstream GOP), it might be time to form the Constitution Party. Though Lincoln didn’t necessarily want to destroy the Whigs, his Republican Party led to the Whigs’ demise. Similarly, perhaps the Constitution Party (limited gonvernment, Constitutional strict constructionalism) would lead to the demise of another party... At least, then we’d know what our party REALLY stands for!

I’m with you. One of the reasons I don’t post as much, is because I got flamed when I spoke of a 3rd party. But, I think people are starting to realize the “3rd party” is in fact the majority party.

If Demint, Ryan, Palin- Limbaugh etc. would create it— the people would join it.

Naah....Tea Party just needs to track voing records and intervene when some congresscritter starts voting unconstitutionally. Easy to do. Requires little to no formal organization...extremely effective.

It’s easier for the tea party to take control of the Republican Party than to take control of the country as a third party. About 10% of the voters will vote in a Republican primary (varies by state etc.) . . . but a motivated group has great power in primaries.

You’ve been here a month, you’ve been present while the Tea Party has crushed RINO opposition in primaries - and yet you say you want the Tea party to become a third party?

The HELL with THAT.

No way, Troll. We’re going to take over the GOP, starve the RNC for funds - and let the RINO’s go 3rd party.
