It would take a lot of money and several election cycles to get a real political party going. Sadly, I don't think we have enough time left to do it.
Yes
The only recourse then would be an armed take-back.
Not a revolution, but a disciplined effort to walk in and take the keys away from the drivers.
It may be closer than many think.
” Sadly, I don’t think we have enough time left to do it. “
Agree - the two existing ‘parties’ have taken us past the point where any ‘political’ solution is possible...
Now, it will take Divine Intervention to ‘save America’...
This country needs a true Conservative Party. All the ingredients are there for one, but I don’t see any of it coming together for any number of reasons.
Anyone who still utters “Third Party costs the GOP elections”, or, “Ross Perot helped elect Bill Clinton”, is helping liberals get elected in both parties. These nonsense statements only cover the fact that the GOP is running a liberal.
There needs to be more than two parties...the only way to ensure that government is run efficiently and small
A conservative Third Party would easily win elections. As the GOP and DNC continue to fight for Independent, Liberal, Illegal Alien, criminals votes....a conservative Third Party will have a solidified base
Tyrannical governments do not fall due to the demands of the people. They fall only when the people demand change and the armed forces refuse to fire on their own countrymen.
There is one thing for sure.
We have reached the so called “Tipping Point”.
What we accomplish as Tea Party advocates or just plain old conservative americans will determine our future.
I would like to think that all FReepers are all in.
I agree with the closer than ...
It’s 1852 all over again.
Yes, it will. Country-club Dems and Pubs are playing us for fools. Watch Trump pull another Ross Perot.
“It would take a lot of money and several election cycles to get a real political party going. Sadly, I don’t think we have enough time left to do it.”
Agree.
I also think it is what the Left is trying to push the right into. The history of third parties would indicate oblivion as the destination of a third party.
Third party candidates can be useful to break up the vote count for opposition such as would happen if Trump were to run for POTUS third party as did Perot with Clinton, thus Obama would win hands down as did Clinton.
Rock and a hard spot eh.
Sounds idiotic until you listen to the scum on both sides of the aisle and it becomes obvious that their allegiance is to the “Party” and not to “We The People”.
While I tend to be more conservative than most, I constantly voted against an idiot NY State Senator who was very proud that he voted 100% with the party boss. Finally we got rid of this scum but not before the damage was done.
Think of all the damage done by Pellosigalor and Dingy Harry by their insistence of party allegiance over loyalty to the Citizens and Constitution of the USA.
The only recourse then would be an armed take-back.

That is almost a guaranteed path to totalitarian dictatorship. Say goodbye to elections.
Did you forget about George Wallace and the AIP ?
There is simply no good reason to create a third party when any party is ultimately controlled by voters. If conservatives don’t have the political power to seize the Republican Party, what in the world makes you think they could win on their own? If, on the other hand, we have the numbers to create a viable conservative party, then we have the power to remake the Republican Party. I probably don’t like Republicans any more than you, but it’s the most probable way of us gaining control. The very inertia that makes changing an established party difficult is the same inertia that makes it easier for them to win elections. For example, you won’t even strip off every conservative with a separate party. You’ll split the vote! That’s what we do not need—this “nonsense” about splitting the vote.
LOL. This was tried in 1992.
