Welp I’ve been on active threads disrupted by what you term “conservative purists.”

At times these types are a pain but I can’t get mad. Us Tea Party types have gotten so puked upon by the GOP Elite. I’m from Delaware and put up with Mike Castle for years before we got sick of the man and primaried him outta there.

I seriously doubt that these conservative purists would be unhappy should Romney step up to the plate and be a great leader. If so then they are not worth the time of day.

Understand there’s a difference between not wanting it and not admitting it.

I’m willing to give Romney the time of day and while I’m at it, let me elaborate on my prognostication of what will happen should Romney start reaching across the aisle and other GOP Blue Blood shenanigans that got us where we are today.

Four years, folks! We’ll have four years to ruminate and discuss all actions by Romney that are liberal, in no way conservative.

There is already a “Tea Party” established, of sorts. Don’t let MSNBC tell you there’s no more tea party. We’re out here and we’re ready to act, we know it if they don’t.

Let Romney start reaching across the aisles and a third party WILL be formed.

I can see it from my house.

Cause if we swallow our convictions and vote for Romney, AND...if Romney starts betraying us as Mike Castle did as he peed upon our feet and told us it was raining....hey, everybody has a limit. The most abused wife, child or animal will rise up and strike back at some point.

The disappointed Tea Party will rise up and all across the fruited plains local and more structured organizations will be formed.

This election will be the LAST election where conservatives will follow the third party rule. Cause if Romney starts governing like a Democrat...WHAT WILL WE HAVE TO LOSE?

And while a new third party might take time to grow and multiply, it will happen.

Comes Romney’s mid-term elections he’ll have a third party to fight against.

I believe this.

I really do.

I agree with your analysis except that I see no benefit ever in going third party. We tea party conservatives can take over the GOP one county committee, one congressional district, and one state at a time. And if we can't it only means that there are not enough of us and/or we are not willing to work hard and smart enough to do so.

If this is the case then a third party will never be able to surpass the GOP quickly enough to avoid it simply becoming a mechanism for ensuring 'Rat domination. We don't have ten or fifteen years to hand to the 'Rats while building a whole new conservative party from the ground up. We have six or eight years to make large, fundamental changes or else the ATMs are going to stop spitting out anything worthwhile.

If we are going to shrink the size of the federal government, reform entitlements, cut taxes, cut regulations, end Obamacare, and open up American energy resources for development, and if we are going to do it over the next six or eight years, then we will do it through the GOP.
