The last successful third party was the Republican Party. That was over 150 years ago.

So, no.

I say yes—If the GOP couldn’t take down Obama in 2012—they should go the way of the Whigs. A new party needs to surface with some real goals and guts to stand up for what they believe. The time is now—we do it at this point for it will be harder to fo in the future—The GOP is dead—The Democtas are dead too—they are Progressive-Communists now.

I'm sure Whig party fans were saying the exact same thing in 1856. They were probably telling those upstart Republicans "oh you guys are going to fail, come back to the Whig party, we've elected four Presidents - William Henry Harrison, John Tyler, Zachary Taylor, and Millard Fillmore, plus we have John Quincy Adamas", and meanwhile they were losing their way.

The Tea Party might not even be a third party since the GOP and DNC have nearly become one and the same.
