Because it is easier to build anew than it is to tear down the whole rotten GOP establishmnet Constitution Party and build again

American Heritage is a new party that split off from the Constitution Party. After all it is easier to start a new party than to try to fix existing problems where you are.

[Ahban]

The American Heritage Party split because the CP was not explicitly "Christian" enough for them. Since that time, the CP has adopted a platform resoulution that acknowledges Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of mankind and the inspiration for our activities.

In other words, the CP took corrective action to fix the problem caused by the breaking away of the AH people. I would not be surprised if they returned to the fold, or only ran local candidates and backed the CP guy for President. So your analogy works against your argument! If I simply extend your analogy one step further, lots of Republicans joining the CP because the 'pubs are not meeting conservative demands will prompt a reform within the GOP that will bring it back to its roots.

The rise of Protestintism likewise helped reform the Catholic church. It seems to be a principle that legitimate competition induces reform.

In conclusion, your post is yet another reason why conservative voters who now consider themselves Republicans should immediatly join the Constitution Party.
