I hear you.

But I don’t want any “Third Party” for 2012.

No more split-vote Ross Perot wins for the Left.

If she takes that route, I’ll have to walk away.

If she wants to rebuild the GOP, I’ll march beside her.
She’s already mobilized conservatives and gotten wins for the GOP.

If Romney is the candidate of the GOP(he will be) then whether a third party gives it to the kenyan or not is immaterial. Romney IS the kenyan but with proper citizenship and managerial skills. I suspect he will be just as bad on Jihad as the kenyan is because he will want to "civilize" it and "bring it along." That managerial skill alone is pretty scary where knowledge and understanding of Economics is wholly lacking.

Well said! (#32)

Far be it from me to tell you how to use your vote, but as Rush says, if there’s going to be a third party, it’ll be the GOP.

Perot did not cost George H W Bush his re-election. That was 100% Bush's fault. I remember that period clearly. Conservatives were screaming at the top of their lungs to Bush to not push Affirmative Action, Tax Increases, the Americans with Disablilities Act, the Clean Air Act and many other liberal policies.

George went wobbly all on his own, learned nothing as VP for Reagan for 8 years.

Reagan's biggest mistake was his very first decision, picking Bush as his VP nominee. We've been paying for that disaster since 1989.

So, people, please stop blaming Perot. Reagan won in 1980 against Carter and against RINO John Anderson. 3rd parties only come about when the 2 parties ignore 200 million Americans.

Perot ran 3rd party against Bush not Clinton.
Bush lost - Clinton won.

In this case, if Sarah ran 3rd party she’d be running against Obama. And Obama would lose and I think the GOP would too.

In 1992 there was no alternative media, no cell phones, texting, internet, tweeting, YouTube, Facebook, blogging, or TeaParty movement. The climate is different. The players are different. The message is different. Our problems are different.

I think 2012 will be Alaskan vs Hawaiian. American vs Globalist. Family vs State. Freedom vs Control. Prosperity vs Austerity.

America has a big choice to make. Freedom or Bondage to Government.
