I don’t want to cast aspersions on people, or make this a conversation about Rick Santorum. I am a social conservative, but for me the ultimate family values are putting food on the table for my family, putting a roof over their heads, and clothes on their backs.
I want to hear other people`s opinions about 3rd parties, or running within the existing Republican Party, or..............
okay, I'm sorry. I brought him up in terms of the moral candidate, whom the Tparty is following, and taking their eyes off the original impetus of their movement, fiscal conservatism.. the fact remains the TParty is losing its way if they are supporting Santorum as a fiscal conservative...

True Conservatism allows you to do this and so much more, Newt is the True Conservative in the race. I’m not a believer in 3rd parties, looking back at 1912 and 1992 where they gave us Wilson and Clinton. My goal has been to make the Republican party a True Conservative party, I believe it’s already a majority Conservative party but is controlled by other than Conservatives. I had hoped to get more of the Tea Party people involved in our county but have not been sucessful to date. We are about to try to get more of the Tea Party people to our county convention.
My views on a third party are changing but the reality of the time line we are faced with, and I’m not talking about just this election, is too short. I believe a split in Republican and Conservative elections on any range of offices from Counselman, to State Legislator, to Congressman to President, would lead to a disaster.
