On his radio show Tuesday evening, Sean Hannity and Sarah Palin lamented the current state of the Republican Party and both wondered aloud whether the time is nigh to form a third party for disillusioned conservatives.
“There’s no difference between the two parties, at this point,” Hannity asserted. At another point during the interview, Palin suggested the president’s actions on the debt ceiling have, thus far, been “impeachable” offenses. The two discussed whether it’s plausible to jump ship to a third party now that the GOP has seemingly “abandoned” both of them and their followers.
Later on during the discussion, Hannity mentioned to Palin that there is much speculation about her upcoming speech in the caucus state of Iowa. Some have suggested she’s gearing up for a 2014 Alaskan senatorial challenge against incumbent Democrat Mark Begich; others are wondering whether she intends to throw her hat into the ring for 2016.
“Are any of these things in your mind at all? Or is this just nonsense?” Hannity asked. Palin’s somewhat dodgy response [emphasis added]:
Not sounding cliché or flighty on this or anything, Sean, my mission is to help the good guys who are in there wanting to make a difference. I don’t know if that entails me holding a position, having a title. Sometimes the title shackles you, and you’re not free to get out there and do what needs to be done. Look, Ronald Reagan said — and I shared this with the vets on Sunday at the World War II memorial — I said that Ronald Reagan reminded us that some people live an entire lifetime wondering if they ever made a difference in the world. Our vets and those who are supportive of our vets which, to me, is very symbolic of all that really matters in this country at this point, the priorities in our government. Our vets and their supporters, they need not ask of themselves whether they made a difference. They’ve made all the difference. What I want to do is make a difference. And I don’t know if that would require me to have a title.
Got that?
[Ed. note: The headline has been updated to reflect the fact that it seems Hannity and Palin were solely discussing the 2014 Alaskan senate race, and not the 2016 presidential primaries.]

Well, somebody better do something. After today, I am totally finished with the GOP for good. I’m taking my “brand” and riding off into the sunset.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I did that in March of 2012.I rode right on out of the new Coercive Utopian United States of Zimbabwe.More and more citizens are becoming ex pats. We will be out here to ship ordnance to those who want to restore the Constitution.
Just so. See my tagline.
Hannity sure didn’t feel the Third Party Thing when he was pushing Illegal Alien Amnesty with Marco Rubio a few months ago....his ratings have tanked over his Amnesty Liberal nonsense
JMO, she’s never going to run for office again. This remark she makes about title/position, she’s made before. It’s her way of saying never. Title and position most certainly would make a bigger difference than one could do without them.
I also think she has plenty of reasons to forego elective office, but it’s our loss. For her it’s simply a road not taken.
Most of us don’t take it either.
Actually, most don't participate, they just vote. It's people who put country first, who participate. Perhaps things are not bad enough yet.
I hope she runs for senate as we need people like her
Cunningham needs to distance himself from Boehner but he doesn’t.
He’s kissed up to the GOPe for a long time.
Me, too. I think the other side has mastered election fraud, so I don't think we could win again in the current system.
A third party might be just the thing to throw a wrench in their machinery. I believe their would be a huge groundswell supporting a Tea Party (whatever the name) with Carson, Palin, West,Cruz, Lee, et.al. heading it up. Now's the time.
I have resided myself to the fact I may never get to vote again since I will not vote for the “lesser” anymore.
Any of the despicable rinos waving white flags NOW, need to fold them carefully and save them because they might need bandages in the near future. And I ain’t giving them none of mine.

Have you noticed that Rove hasn't been on either of Sean's shows recently? I don't think they see eye to eye anymore and I don't think Sean considers him as an architect anymore.
