It would work....but you have way too many liberal PhonyCons...who claim conservatism.....but think the GOP is the only conservative thing out there.

Leave.

Get out.

You'll show 'em, brave patriot!

Go sit with the Perot, Buchanan voters. Or is it really the Democrats you'll be sitting with?

Technically, I’m still registered as a Republican. But, my lifelong affiliation pretty much died the past four years when the GOP-E was joining in with the loathesome Dems and their media minions to backstab Palin at every turn. A big part of why I didn’t even bother voting for that bastard Romney, the first GOP candidate to NOT get my vote.

With the GOP consistently siding with Obama and the whole liberal establishment elites, from amnesty to fiscal cliffs to Obamacare funding to NSA domestic snooping to now this hairbrained Syrian idiocy.... I honestly can’t see a single reason to ever give my support to the GOP again. Heck, they don’t even bother offering a voice on the social/cultural issues anymore. The GOP just no longer shares ANY of my values it seems. No, not a damned one.

The only way I’ll support the GOP again, financially, is if Ted Cruz is the nominee in 2016.

Being one of the few “youngsters” that actually pay attention to politics a mass exit will not fix what is wrong. The only real solution is an exit from the financial system supporting terrible morals. This is essentially impossible as local government in many instances is at odds with individual rights, mostly limiting the ability to ostracize terrible life choices under the threat of losing your business.

I’m out too. My only fear though, is that a “mass exodus” might also include a number of Republicrat operatives who would attempt to taint the Tea Party organizations. That might, in fact, already be happening.

Amen.

People talk about how Palin is "damaged goods." She is not even remotely as damaged as the Republican brand, which has come to mean hypocrital government statist with zero credibility and zero trustworthiness. At least when Democrats vote for Democrats, their candidates are consistent in promoting what they say they're going to promote.

But when we vote for the Republican, there's as much a chance that he or she is going to promote what the Democrats promote as there is that he/she will promote limited government conservatism. It's a total crap-shoot at best, outright fraud at worst, as it was with Romney, a functional liberal Democrat statist government tyrant in philosophy and deed registered as a Republican.

The Republican brand is destroyed. Time to move on not so much to send a message, but to blaze a trail that can lead to the restoration of American freedom.

There’s an apparent catch-22 in third party efforts. You need a large enough mass of voters to overcome the rigged game when it comes to ballot access. But you need ballot access to attract a large enough mass of voters.

We’ve solved that riddle.

For the last five years we’ve been laying the groundwork for what we call a “meta-party,” or, to put it simply, an organization that goes beyond party, to principle, while fully utilizing whatever is still viable or useful from the old way of doing things.

This makes no sense unless there is another party to register with. All this does is prevent you from having a voice in the primary which is where the battle for the soul of the GOP is. If another squish wins the nomination anyway, there will be plenty of time to vote for someone else. Why would you weaken the tea party by throwing away the opportunity to vote in the GOP primary?

I think the key is also to get all the millions of Americans who are so disenfranchised with our political system that they don;t vote at all interested in 3rd parties that want to restore American liberties to their full capacity. In all of our presidential and Congressional elections, the elephant in the room is the tens of millions of Americans who simply decide not to vote at all.

I'm already out. I quit after I voted for McCain and then he started flashing his liberalism all over the place.

And the Republican party's answer to that was Romney?

What a joke.

Let's just take over that Party of gutless wonders instead. They have proven over and over what low-hanging fruit they are.

If they can't manage a fight against such easy targets as the stupid, freaky, loser Demoncrats, how can they possibly fight "us" who have right and the Constitution on our side?

We need a seed particle around which a new party could crystallize.

It could happen in a hurry if the right person stepped up.

There are a lot of voters fed up to the gills with the Republicrats.
