Surely the GOP is now poised and ready to really come in and do a great job. No, really they will this time….

Let’s see, they have only been in office since about 1860. Now they are going to push those nasty DEMS out and truely serve the people.

The Tea Party movement and similar organizations along with a large number of political commentators claim no GOP affiliation. They also are highly insulted with the assertions of being shills for the GOP.

Then articles like this are supposed to leave people thinking that they are not political pawns of the GOP?

There are a growing number of us out here that don’t buy the nonsense that the President is running the show, and the poor, innocent legislature is powerless to do the right thing. This strategy allows a false sense of power shift from DNC to RNC and back each election cycle. It’s just like a teter totter and playing the public for fools.

Ladies and gentlemen of the government, how about reading the Constitution you swore by during your oathes of office.

A party like the Constution Party has a solid platform, anyone read the DEMS and REPS recently? These are truely works of art, not saying much, emotion, with no substance.

The Constitution Party is growing, and although not as big as the two presently running things, it is not a broken party.

If you put your efforts behind the GOP, there is a large amount tear-down and rebuild before you can even get moving forward.

Wake up America, keep voting along bi partisan lines, and expect more of the same….

There is no reason for a third party on the national level when a primary system allows you to overhaul one or both of the 2 major political parties over time. Just because one guy wins his first congressional seat doesn’t mean he can’t be unseated from within his own party during the next election.

Should a third party ever ascend to the powerful levels of the GOP and the Democrats, why would anyone believe that it would be immune to the same disease that has infected the others. Political parties are made up of people, and a third party label doesn’t shield its members from the same temptations and character flaws of any other human being.

A third party President would be a disaster. Both political parties would gang up on him. He would be a lame duck the moment he took office. There would be no incentive for the other two parties to support him, especially when it comes to cutting down the size of government. Congressmen from both aisles would oppose him at every turn.

Third parties haven’t been able to stop Europe’s slide the the left.

A third major political party is no substitute for an informed and involved electorate keeping a close eye on their elected officials.

I hear Radio commentators, Tea Party Leaders and regular folks railing about the course government is taking this nation.
They complain about Democrats, Republicans, progressives, socialists and even conservatives! Government is to big, to over reaching and to controlling. They do things that are not Constitutional! The solution everyone seems to agree on is to vote them out! And elect whom? Another Democrat or Republican?

No one I’ve heard in the Tea Party movement or on talk radio has had the guts to seriously back or even discuss a 3rd party option. I have to wonder why, With all the disgust for the Left and the outright failure of the GOP to stand up for “We The People” why do you continually stand behind them? They have let us down for decades! What’s the definition of insanity- To do the same thing over and over and over and expect a different result !

We will hear long time GOP politicians tell us they have had an epiphany and they now realize we need to get back to our Constitutional roots. Really??

Here is the mission statement for The Constitution Party:
“The goal of the Constitution Party is to promote and defend the great American principles of individual liberty and return to constitutional government through education and political activity and through election, at all levels of government, of Constitution Party candidates, who will uphold the principals of the Declaration Of Independence and the Constitution of the United States.”

I haven’t seen another party state this clearly what their Mission Statement is, have you? The two major parties have ingrained in our heads that somehow there are only two political parties and any other way is some how un-American! Well I have news for you, that kind of naive thinking is why we are where we are today.

I’ll end with the last few lines from the Declaration Of Independence-
“And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.”

Thank You

Sorry to see you drinking the Kool-Aid.

The Republican Party was founded as a party of big government and has remained one at all times when in power, even if it adopts small-government rhetoric when it’s out of power. It’s no accident that the largest government building in Washington, DC is the Ronald Reagan Center.

When Libertarian Party activists in Illinois launched the Tea Party movement, they knew there was a good chance the GOP would try to hijack it. I hope that you’ll wake up in time to help stop that from happening, because that would mark the end of the movement as a force for good. It’s going to take a new party to save the American dream.
