A third party would be disastrous and I’m sure Sarah Palin is well aware of that.

What we need to do is get a bigger majority in the House so that the leaders will be forced to be conservative or stop being leaders.

Take the senate. Elect a true conservative this time and move the Republican Party to the right.

A third party would do nothing for years but elect democrats.

A destruction of the existing GOP must take place. This was supposed to be the election to do it. And now, look who we have at the top. More of the same ol', same ol'.

Taking over the local seats, etc. is working quite well. But there will come a time when a line is drawn in the sand.

I (like many here) am still hoping for a Republican nominee who has Conservative credentials. Should the establishment win once again and nominate a Moderate, losing in 2012 would be almost a given.

That being my belief (as backed by history), the creation of a Third Party might be the only way Conservatives would ever be represented.

I know full well the argument against a Third Party, but if the direction of the Republican Party continues to be a race to the Left, how are we ever going to be represented?

While coach of the (NBA) Lakers, Pat Riley was quoted in regards to changing up the entire team in the off season in order to become a contender once again, (paraphrasing) “We have to decide if we're keeping the old car or getting a new one”. I believe that line applies to Conservative's current situation. Do we remain members of a political party which refuses to represent us (or even like us) or do we form a major new party? Granted, the likelihood of being victorious in 2012 would be slim (perhaps not as slim as a Moderate Republican nominee), but what about elections in 2014 and 2016?

Lord knows I don't want another 4 years of the Obama agenda. But, I also don't want a similar agenda disguised under a different name.
