So what would it take to make a viable, third party, Tea Party run? Too late for 2012? Anyone have an extra $ Billion laying around?

$1 Billion is about what it would take.

That, and a complicit national media.

The "Fortunes of Political War Wax and Wane" ...

I don't how it happens ... but my soul tells me three things:


1) Newt Gingrich promised us "Victory or Death" ... at the permanent risk to his much aclaimed reputation

Newt Gingrich is still alive and well ...


2) Mitt Romney's candidacy will implode ... that's a certainty ...

Conservatives, especially Christians "know this" ...

It's just a matter of which Month of 2012 that it happens ...


3) I will be in Tampa protesting against Romney and the E-RINO GOP Establishment ...

Join me, Fellow Patriots ...

So, you are hoping to let Obama win with 43% of the vote this year, just like Clinton won in 1992?

And the benefit of letting Obama win this way is ..... ?????

” - - - So what would it take to make a viable, third party, Tea Party run? “

In order for a third party to be viable, the election rules would have to change to allow a runoff between the two leading contenders.

Otherwise there would be the usual boo-hooing about “splitting” or “throwing away” ones vote.

An achievable scenario in 2012 is to

1.) boycott voting for Romney by voting for ABO (Anybody But Romney) in the remaining Primary elections;

2.) work and lobby for an Open Convention in Tampa;

and 3.) DRAFT Sen. Jim DeMint, R-Sc., to be the Republican Presidential Nominee.

BTW, Jim “says” that he doesn’t want to run, “at this time.”

3.5 billion, however I am saving it for a rainy day until I am employed again.
