Nothing makes a liberal smile more broadly than “talk” of a “conservative” third party.
That's right. Keep on preaching your "conventional wisdom." Adhering to it has produced such STELLAR results!
Pal, the liberals smile broadly when guys like Romney and Jeb run because even if the Republicans win, liberals win. THEY SMILE BROADLY at dopes like you, dear. They know that fear has got "conservatives" like you by the balls.
And who is talking about a "conservative" third party? I am talking about a LIMITED GOVERNMENT third party. Limited government is conservatism's best friend and strongest enabler. It is also the friend of Democrats who are sick of government tyranny.
Go out into the real world, listen, start conversations, read consumer comments on mainstream news media, read posts on facebook from otherwise "liberal" folks you know or are connected with, and WAKE UP to how many Democrats are as sick of government tyranny, foodstamps for sloth, gun-grabbing, and homosexual-pushing liberalism as there are Republicans sick of the same ... HELLO??????????? Timing doesn't get any more ripe than this.
But as long as these Americans, Republicans and Democrats timidly subscribe to your fear-based "wisdom" regarding a third party, their political choices are going to be controlled by the government-growing elites of those two parties. You can vote for government tyranny in the form of Jeb or Romney if you want and call it "pragmatism," but that only means that you have not yet grasped the truth of Einstein's definition of insanity.
