[Rational Thought]

While I completely understand what you're saying, the reality is we no longer have a party, even though the majority of Republican voters consider themselves Conservatives. Instead, with few exceptions, we are given a steady diet of Faux Conservatives who regardless of their actions, are continuously reelected under the “lesser of two evils” belief. Add to that the ones who either lie about their ideology while campaigning or are corrupted by the Washington establishment once in office, and there's no chance of any representation.

I just don't see any recourse for us under this Republican Party.

As for a third party taking ten years to become viable, that's not necessarily true. Remembering recent history with Ross Perot, regardless of his motives or beliefs, he was leading in most Presidential polls as an independent in the summer of 1992 prior to self destructing his own campaign.

A successful third party wouldn't require a majority of voters. Anything close to forty percent would be successful. As over 40 percent of voters identify themselves as Conservative, with the right leader(s) and sufficient financial support, it is possible.

To be honest with you my concern is not so much the viability of a third part or the future of the Republican Party,both are means to an end. My concern is saving the country from a communist tyranny that is behind the wheel of the ship of state now and threatens to get reelected in 2016!!

If it were 1970 instead of 2013 I wouldn't think twice. Back then a third party, I'd jump for it. Things moved slower then,not these days.

Just look at the evolution of the dear leader. The guy came out of nowhere and is now destroying the country with a communist machine that appears near unstoppable.

I hesitate to explore the possible growth of a third party with so much at stake.
