I thought Erickson was a “reform the party from within” guy. More and more from that camp are rumbling about third parties.

He was. This is significant.

I think he was a "reform the party from within" guy, just like the Tea Party people. But, what he discovered (as I had also discovered), is that these Republican politicians will tell you what you want to hear; but, once in power they ignore you. Or, as they just did this week, they vote against something that 60% of the population agrees with and do it on the March for Life day.

Honestly, what they did this week was just unbelieveable. I turned in my voter registration card a couple of years ago. I did so because it just doesn't matter what the people want anymore, it only matters what they can get away with, and what they will say to get re-elected. We are no longer a government "by the people". I simply decided that I could no longer participate in, what I view, as a totally corrupt system. I am sympathetic with Eric's POV from this article, and I think more people are looking at the 3rd party option; but, once they get to DC, the system will corrupt them, and we are back at square one.

That’s how the Whig party was “reformed”.
