“3rd Parties are stupid ideas. They only give the Democrats more chances to win.”
Unless the third party becomes a powerful force (in which case the 3rd party becomes the ‘2nd party’).
As is often quoted: “Nothing is more powerful than an idea whose time has come.”
On the other hand you may well be right; maybe we should just allow the GOPe to conduct business as usual, and see how that works out.
The GOP is nothing more than a group of people.
The only reason we can’t get a conservative nominee, is that WE in the Conservative movement can’t make up our minds and we are impossible to please.
If egotistical conservatives could swallow their pride and back ONE candidate, in the primary, we would not be stuck with John McCain or Mitt Romney next time.
It is the SPLIT caused by the grumpy, impossible, perfectionist conservatives that causes us to lose in the Primary contests.
Now? You want to take that same bad attitude and make it IMPOSSIBLE to win in the General Election?
