Since a name seems to be everything, it is about time to give a name to a third party for constitutional conservatives to rally around. The Dimwit and RINO GOP-E parties are not doing service to the consitution they swore to uphold.
While we're at it, let's add a platform and principles this party should stand for.
Name: Conservative or Constitutional or Contitutional Conservative Party
Principles: Value the literal founding principles of the constituion.
How about “The Party”, with a name like that bound to attract LOTS and LOTS of people.
Repeal the 16th and 17th Amendments, for a start.
They already have the Constitution Party.....very successful.../sarc. I think we just need to influence the GOP more. We are failing obviously.
We could form a gang we call “The Gang” and threaten to beat people up if they pay us.
Like the names but not sure we would want the acronym to be so close to CCCP :-)
I recommend we go with whatever name Allen West agrees to run for President under.
The Federalist Party was the first political party in the United States, and most Founding Fathers were members it. I wish that party was still here, the 10th Amendment has taken a beating since it was abandoned.
The Quixotes. Since the only real point of 3rd parties is to lose valiantly the name should reflect it.
We will never, ever influence the GOP. It’s not like in another 10 years there’s going to be more of us.
Insanity is obviously running rampant among Conservatives. Your statement is posted as if last November and the litany of 'surrenders', capitulations and punishments that are enabling a Marxist Dictator, never happened.
The GOP is dead.
Hell, the REPUBLIC IS DEAD.
Time to wake up to reality so we can get really serious about what is going to be required to save our lives and what is left of liberty in this land.
The American Patriot Party.
The Poacher Party
Because it will be employed in killing RINOs.
It has to statrt somewhere. Good things don’t magically appear from nothing.
The TEA party
That is what they are going to call us anyway...
Tell that to the Whigs.
Principles - Patting one's self on the back about how "principled" they are while doing nothing to get those principles enacted.
Results - Same as the Libertarians, Greens, Natural Law Party, Reform Party, and Constitution Party.
how long are you going to bang your head into the same wall?
In theory sure. In practice the only people in third parties now don’t actually want to change things, they want to lose heroically.
Some people take comfort in the familiar.
