Forming a third party from the Tea Party movement would be a disaster for conservatives as well as for the entire country. This would practically insure victory for the Democrats and the socialist agenda that is being forwarded by them.

Ronald Reagan once said that what this country needed was a revitalized Republican Party – not a Third Party. Let’s keep this in mind and use our power as a grassroots organization to affect change within the Republican Party. We must be patient and not get discouraged – real change takes time. No one should be fooled by attempts that will be made by the left to splinter our groups in order to defeat our agenda.

There are two issues in this post, one of which most people seem to have ignored. The first issue is whether a third party will work. Of course not. Our country is locked into a two party system and so we must work within that system. But I have fears that we may not get the change we want with the GOP either. People sang the praises of Scott Brown even though he is not a conservative. What do we do then?

The other issue springs from the scenario revealed in this letter: Phil Russo has left over the GOP focus and praise. I myself have been very concerned that the Tea Party Movement would get hijacked. When I received the email about the April 12th Tea Party, my head almost exploded. Why is John Boehner going to be on a grassroots stage?! And even worse, this party has not been scheduled to coincide with the national parties on April 15th in order to work with Boehner’s schedule. What!? If Phil really has cut ties, I support him. We must keep these GOPers backs to the wall or they will only bring us more of the same – earmarks, spending, corruption…

I can see his point. If the Republican party cannot be changed, then there has to be a third party. I think it is better to be independent and support candidates you choose regardless of party affiliation.

What is really upsetting to me is Nick Egoroff is trying to “burn” people.

He is gossiping or something. A real family doesn’t do that.. he is not a loyal person.. or I should say he has divided loyalties..

What offends me the most about him is that he thinks he is the authority on “politics”.. a big know it all blow hard.

The 24th Amendment allows the God Given BirthRight for Citizens to walk into ANY Primary and vote for ANY Candidate running for office. The Closed Party Laws are unConsitutional.And Congress is charge with enforcement of the 24th Amendment.
The Parties being in control of who the candidate will be and who can vote is morally wrong.
The Tea Party Movement will end up being just a Noise.The GOP has used Sarah Palin to highjack the TYea Party Movement.This will cause the people’s protest against the politicians be in vain because Sarah Palin is for Amnesty and the NAU.The 2006-2008 calling,e-mailing and mailing letters to the GOP to vote for against Amnesty and build a Border Fence was what they said “we are tired and will aint going to put up with anymore” is nothing but noise beacuse once again the politicicans are smarter than the sheep.

OH Brother!

Nick and Phil,why don’t you run for office since you both seem to think that only your ideas are worthy?

This soap opera stuff is worse than high school, it is more like middle school!

The gossip and tantrums are self-gratuitous!

In my view, if you are fiscally conservative, have attended tea party rallies, support a small government agenda, etc. – you are a “tea party person”. If you also happen to be a Republican, or lean toward Republican candidates, you are aligned with 95% of the other “tea party persons”. Tea party activists will support a smattering of independents, probably NO democrats, and mostly Republicans – that is a fact. In primaries they will choose the conservative over the RINO, but in the general, they will vote REPUBLICAN.

Why is this so hard to grasp?

I AGREE WITH THE ABOVE FROM FREDJS POST HERE.!!!

The Tea Parties I have attended are composed of Republicans, Independents and even Democrats who oppose Big Government and what is now happening in this country under Obama and the ‘Gang in Washington’. They say they have HAD ENOUGH and are CONSERVATIVES..when some don’t realize that they really are. I say NO TO A THIRD PARTY as do others here it would just insure that the Liberal/Socialists will win and we just must not let that happen. I truly believe most Tea Party people will vote for a real CONSERVATIVE Republican in November. If there is a CONSERVATIVE Independent..that’s fine with me. But we need to weed out all the R.I.N.O.s and Liberal Democrats in 2010 and keep it going in 2012 and bring sanity back to America.

FLORIDA HAS A CLOSED PRIMARY! ONLY REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS CAN VOTE!

Libertarians, Tea Party, Independents, and the rest of the third parties cannot vote until the general election.
