I disagree.

If we support jobs in America, we will win votes.

Corporate America seems to have switched all American jobs to China.

Making all sorts of things. Which they then ship back here, and sell to us for the same prices.

Bring back US jobs. If the GOP won’t do it, and if Palin switches parties, I’m in.

What we have now, is already broken.

It’s just taking a while to sink.

If that bill gets through the House in any way fashion or form, it won’t matter if we have ten other parties, we’ll always be a minority in a third world country.

RIGHT.

NO secondary House bill at ALL.

Nothing for reconciliation which will mean AMNESTY.

Glad to see more people waking up and abandoning the lib lite party. Now lets make sure we don’t let the fanboys and ‘lesser evil’ crowd do to whatever forms from this, that they did to the GOP.

Those set on “Winning’ without any principle, and at any cost should just stay with the GOP where they are most at home.

I agree with you 100 percent..I wont sell out my principles just to vote for someone with an R next to their name..if that person with an R next to their name has the same beliefs as the person who has a D next to their name I wont vote for either. Glenn Beck said many years ago that the GOP was turning into the Dem party, taken over by progressives..didnt think it could happen but its happening

“Some say” Palin is irrelevant, an opportunist, non-influential...

Palin is perhaps the one and only individual that could at this time start a new party. Although, I’m quite pragmatic about the value of the Republican Party’s infrastructure, I would have absolutely no reluctance to abandon the GOP for a party conceived by Sarah Palin.

The GOP was founded as a third party about seven years before the Civil War. How much worse does it have to get before a third party flies? They’ve tried unsuccessfully so many times.

The GOP has been quietly taking a dump on us for 25 years. Over the past 5 years, it's gotten much worse and much more blatant with Juan McAmnesty and Mitt Obamney and amnesty, among other things.

Clinton and then Bush created the basis for a modern surveillance state and Obama expanded it, and I don't see the GOP doing squat about it. Same with the IRS. They are dragging things out with the hearings, but it's quite clear that they aren't going to do what needs to be done. They are putting on a dog and pony show until the American public is distracted, and then they'll quietly drop it.

The GOP is not standing in the way of this country turning into a socialist/totalitarian nightmare. For every Rand Paul (who supports amnesty) making noise about the NSA, there are 5 Juan McAmnestys and Lindsey Gaymans who support the surveillance state.

She has it backwards. She wouldn't be leaving the Republican Party, the Republican Party deserted conservatives a long time ago.

She's just getting the memo.

Hmmmmm...I'm in and would be contributing BUT I wonder how many of the 275 so-called Republican Reps & Senators would make the change before the 2014 election cycle.

50%, 40%, 30%...how many?

Let's try to name them, with a probability percentage...

Think of that little prick Ross Perot. He was well on his way to winning that election, and then he realized it and had to put on the brakes.

In a three party race, it only takes 34% to win, if it’s a dead heat.

Could we get 35-45% of the electorate to buy into renewing America? My take is hell yes.

I will say this though, the first person who tries to pass sensible immigration reform from the new party that includes, instant legalization, a pathway to citizenship, and the right to stay here and take jobs U. S. Citizens should have, should be jettisoned out of the party immediately.

I would like a code of conduct. You start pulling the McCain, Graham, Rubio routine and you’re history.

Hindsight being 20/20, it's clear that it was always the plan to slide left and give us a string of RINO candidates, but you're right, I didn't think it would happen, at least not this blatantly. I never saw the GOP bending over and spreading so easily for the Dems.

Not being a republican, I think I can say with enthusiasm, ‘bout time!

Welcome home, Sarah! Shake the shackles of go-along / get-along.

Maybe we’ll even return to a two party republic.

If we lose this illegal immigration fight, why would there ever be a president or a congress that wasn't radically left wing, willing to spend us into oblivion, and not caring if we have US jobs?

One way to lose any hope of a comeback for the US is to pass this bill and allow a democrat thug majority in perpetuity.

IMO, it might not be that important that they do it.

Their choice if they have a ‘new party’ president, could be to support him or the Democrats. You would hope to get most of the Republicans anyway.

Over the next few years after that win, a lot would change parties to become in tune with the President.
