Boehner may have a legacy yet...
I don't want the GOP to have a chance if they stab us in the back this time. Bad enough they gave us McCain, but to back down on Obamacare, I'll vote third party and hope that enough do to make them lose and see that a lot more people agreed with the TEA Party than they thought.
No. We need a SECOND party to oppose the Big Government Leftist Democrat-Republican Establishment Cabal Party.
The problem with this is that I suspect most people who answered affirmatively would want a more moderate approach to the third party regardless of where they politically align now.
It would have been interesting to see that sort of follow up question.
Third Party ideas are supported by those who do not understand math.
If you do not have the numbers to control the Republican Party, how on Earth are you going to win when EVERYONE votes in the General Election?
imo, altering the Republican party to be a liberty party has a better chance of succeeding than growing a third party to power.
Some proposed names for new party
USIP - US Independence Party
TEA - Taxed Enough Already Party
The unofficial third party is the Tea Party. We are influencing elections! If we continue to hold firm and back conservatives in primaries we CAN make a difference !
Great idea.....a third Party. I love it! It will keep my party in power for decades to come,
Barack Obama
I didn’t dislike the man, but looking back I’ve concluded that Bush 43 mortally wounded the party.
We do need a third party, but not they way they think. We need to split the Democrat party into Center-Left and Real Crazies (Green?).
If we split the ‘Pubbies all we do is guarantee Democrat dominance forever.
It would be fine by me.
Watching the GOP leadership doggedly push amnesty (2007, 2013), watching their scurrilous backstabbing of Palin, watching them nominate a liberal from Massachusetts... it’s become more than obvious the Republican Party not only no longer shares my values, but holds me and my views in utter contempt.
Voted exclusively GOP my entire life, but I doubt I ever will again. I’ll have to see Palin or Cruz at the top of the ticket before I’ll even entertain such a notion.
No we don’t
McCain, Ryan, McConnell, cornyn, anyone else who (oh, Graham) has been collaborating with, complimenting, fraternizing and otherwise promoting the party of abortion, post constitutionalism and general socialism, and otherwise just generally not representing his or her voters as republicans and American constitutional interests as advertised and, oh, sworn to do, can form their own party.
And they can prove their laziness and worthlessness in their failure to do as much as to split away and come up with a name for themselves.
No thanks
The Republican Party, the GOP is doing just fine.
It is under new management
I’m sure every democrat agrees with this.
I’d say they need a second party, at this point.
Then, as it gets closer & closer to election day, those same people start dropping like flies & bending over backwards to explain why we MUST, MUST, MUST vote for some lukewarm, quasi-liberal GOP candidate for the good of the known universe.
Most recent example -- Romney in 2012.
This time will be no different. Mark my words.
That’s a little low... I am certain it’s more than 52%
We’ll know soon enough! ;)
McConnell and Boehner better understand their actions can have serious conseuquences.
Fiscal responsibility is a winning idea and if the GOP wants to be the Grand Obamalite Party they will pay.
That’s worse...
