There's no 'Independent' party, sir. There's an old 'American Independent' party, but I'm sure that every old fogey that supported it is long dead. Equally as dead as George Wallace. They disintegrated back in 1976, when Jimmy Carter was still the governor of Georgia.
"Constitution Party..."
They're silly. There's also only about thirty of them in the whole United States. I think their leader is some 74 year old church organ repairman from Terra Haute IN named Marty Cziechozhblawicz who wears red flannel shirts, wide suspenders, klunky orthopedic shoes with diabetic socks, and men's diapers for his incontinence. He's going to die next week when his power goes out during a winter storm and his CPAP machine turns off in the middle of the night.
"Libertarian..."
They're hardly serious. Besides, if you're an 'independent conservative', that party is no place for you. They still advocate erasing all borders so that 'free people can emigrate freely'. Why did you even suggest the Libertarian Party? They're kooks who seriously put forth candidates who've turned their skin blue with dubious home remedies and pose for campaign photos wearing replica Star Trek 'Captain Kirk' shirts. Get out of here.
"Or, vote Democrat..."
You're on the wrong website if you're advocating that.
No, seriously. I demand honest answers that aren't worse than continuing to support the GOP. Really now, what have you got?
I already gave those. Instead, I'd be happy to send you a jar of vasoline. Might ease the pain the next time your RINO love gets the best of you.
You demand "honest answers!" That's rich coming from someone willing to vote for moving the Republican party on board with the Democrat agenda. Hello? Your vote for Romney was a vote "against" Obama IN YOUR DREAMS, pal. Voting against is voting for the tooth fairy.
Continuing to support the GOP, at the very least in the 2016 presidential if the party nominates another functional Democrat Republican, is the biggest sucker's bet of the century. A total losers' game, a con, a charade. Vast numbers of American voters are aware of it. It is why Romney lost. Americans were too smart for the con game.
You don't get to vote "against" a friggin' thing. YOU should stay home until you are willing to be accountable for what you vote FOR. THAT is your choice.
Then maybe a third-party candidate can:
a) so divide the vote that whichever leftist amoral government-pushing functional Democrat wins, the Republican or the Democrat, it will be under clear opposition of a majority of American voters. It will make that left-leaning president WEAK, as Clinton was weak both terms and the Republican Revolution succeeded.
b) or better scenario of a limited government conservative third party candidate WINNING with a plurality, the price being that he, too, would be weakened by the plurality split, but the risk is worth it
c) or BEST CASE and very unlikely scenario of limited government third party candidate win with a clear majority, a mandate from the American people. That would be a miracle.
YOU can go on voting to turn the Republican party left. That is all that you're doing.
I will vote to weaken which ever leftist R or D wins.
THAT is the choice you and I have "got."
