To me a third party option is very questionable as there are so many parties that claim to be conservative it would be hard to decide which one to choose. What I think the problem is, that we can not, or will not unite.
Conservatives must obtain and maintain the stronghold of this party, to overcome the parasitic socialism infecting both parties. How we do that exactly, I'm not sure. Palin, Rand, West and other true conservatives may hold the key.
