88Comrade2000 Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 http://dailycaller.com/2013/06/29/sarah-palin-floats-idea-of-leaving-republican-party-video/ I think this would be a good thing. If her and all her tea party types just go third party; that would be great. Dems would love this, as they would be assured victories for years to come. Let the real RINOS leave and run on their own merrits instead of highjacker a dead party as the GOP. The GOP could then reform and become a party more in tune with the majority of Americans or wither away like the WHIGS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgold Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 At this point does her voice matter? Does she still hold significant sway? I suspect her publicly musing about this is more about trying to get back into the spotlight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggo-toni Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Pat Buchanan threatened and eventually did so, and the GOP won back the WH. Let the attention whore spread her legs elsewhere; who cares? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKINS@THEGOALLINE Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Let the attention whore spread her legs elsewhere; who cares? I for one care! This is probably the best news the GOP has heard in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes? http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3037181/posts I always consider free republic to be a pretty good gauge of the tea party types. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twa Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 she seemed to do well outside(or minimally aligned to it) the R party before...of course she has done well within it too If the TP folk left would there be a shift of moderate Dems to the R's? Would the Dems further split w/o them to castigate in attempts to deflect from their shortcomings? I would like a three major party system, but don't see it happening. always nice to see her argued over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEANDWARF Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Agree with the OP. GOP should have embraced the Tea Party and some of their stance on certain issues. Likewise maybe the Tea Party should compromise a bit. But anyway this means Hillary in 2016. God help us all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me, out here in "Real Umerikuh" there are a lot of people who still love Sarah, they love all things Tea Party. She still influences a lot of people out here, that said I think if Sarah bolted the GOP she'd take a few but I think the party would remain pretty strong.

SteveFromYellowstone Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Please do this Sarah. This might lose the GOP a fair amount of voters. It could force them to actually make their views moderate to continue being a viable party in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Does anybody believe she'd see this through? She did have the choice of going back to Alaska and working her ass off, maybe going for a Senate seat.....but decided on reality TV and opinion news.

88Comrade2000 Posted July 1, 2013 Author Share Posted July 1, 2013 The best thing for the Republican party long term would be for this to happen. Thing is, it probably wouldn't happen until after the next Presidential election. Hillary is still my bet for POTUS #45. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A novel concept.. sort of like a bowel cleansing for the GOP. ~Bang Thing is will this self purging occur in time to make a difference for 2016 or should we concede the election to Hillary or whoever the Democratic nominee is. The Tea Partiers believe they such a huge party that if they leave the Republican party will collasp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrabR Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I bet the founders had people like Bachmann and Palin in mind when they came up with the idea of Electors to vote for president instead of the people It is still also mind boggling to me why we have not struck that out of the Constitution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
