The biggest Tea Party victory to date: pushing an Amnesty Bill through the Senate.
I’m glad they think we need another party to raise taxes and take freedom. :)
I think they should do it for a 6 year period. Then in the charter, vote to disband it if it does not reach certain outcomes. Or members can re instate to continue.
I’d like to see it called, The Taxpayer Party.
The last successful third party was the Republican Party. That was over 150 years ago.
So, no.
Oh yes, we do need the new Tea Party with real leaders.
I’d join in a minute, wait I already joined a couple of years ago. I’m thinking Searchlight. The Tea Party Woodstock!
So far you seem to only have a heckler from the RNCC cheerleading section.
The tea party is already a viable political party; it controls the republican party. The RINOS are on deathwatch and are being picked off one by one.
Nothing happens overnight.
It’s coming.
I think its time for a Conservative party.
The Tea Party has attracted many Libertarians and a Libertarian is and never will be a Conservative.
It makes more sense to me to let the GOP and the Libertarians and the Tea Party have the GOP and the Conservatives form their own party.
Being as the GOP-E Republican party has just accomplished suicide, I would say yes and note that the TEA party is already are fairly effective.
Is this the Huffington Post, or Politico?
Yes, the country could use a second political party.
The founders warned against factionalism, not pluralism; as it is now, we’ve got the Republicrats and Democrats: one political party with slight differences.
Conservatives have huge differences with both factions.
the Tea Party swept into the political vacuum left by the Republican Party in 2009. There was no voice for conservatives.

Willard shut us out of the republican convention in 2012..
Our Conservative leaders like Gov Sarah Palin were not allowed to speak and Willard’s own political agenda was put forward..
Willard changed some of the rules making sure that any delegates in 2016 would be handpicked or rejected by he and the GOPe in 2016...,
2016 will be full of the Paul Ryans, Marco Rubios, and the old guard...Willard, McCain, Rove and the other usual liberal suspects...
We have no place in “moderate progressive” Willard’s 2016 convention..
Let’s have our own...
I doubt Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, Mike Lee etc will be recognized by the GOPe...
They will be available to represent a Conservative party...
If the GOP puts up a Jeb Bush or Rubio (or fill in the rino blank), it must be destroyed at the Federal level. Otherwise, it will essentially form a national unity party with the Dims (in effect this has already happened). A unity party will shut out all grassroots initiatives. The tea party, as currently constituted, is not a unified political organization.
I think the best idea is to form some organization that promotes reforms via the state level and along the lines of Mark Levin’s liberty amendments.
We need to get rid of all political parties. Candidates should present their ideas and people can vote for or against them based on those ideas. Political parties force people to choose between tweedldumb and tweedledumber. I would like to vote for the candidate who most reflected my belief in following the Constitution and not between the lesser of two evils.
I’m all in. I quit my position in the GOP. Disgusting.
Past time to start a Third Party. Shell shocked that we didn’t begin the task the evening Romney was nominated, and prepare for 2016. Time,
money, leadership and organization can’t happen in a vacuum. We’re in one, and the RINOS have screwed the lid down.
How about getting a candidate who has a chance of defeating Hillary before we kill each other over what to name it
I hate to rain on the picnic but the Tea Party will never be serious political party.
One reason is because the people who consider themselves Tea Party members are too divided.
Conservatives can’t even agree on a primary candidate long enough to get one into the general election.
But the biggest reason is because of time. Most conservatives are aging and the younger generation has a totally different set of values.
Gay marriage is a prime example. Younger folks are alright with the gay agenda the same way they’re alright with big government.
I’m in my 50s and I come to FR because like a lot of Freepers I miss the America I grew up in.
Sadly the wheel has turned and it’s not going to turn back,
I’m down. The GOP is a party of pansies and eunuchs. Let’s have us a second party.
