A civil war is raging within the Republican Party, with major donors and Amnesty/ Immigration Surge supporters mobilizing against Tea Party candidates. The bitterness is so great that there is finally MSM realization that a Third Party might well emerge from the convulsion. Of course, a Third Party would be pointless if it just espoused the same old ideas louder. But possibly, just possibly, the climax of 2013 Amnesty Offensive might result in new ideas—and even a new leader.
Sarah Palin, the fertility goddess of the Tea Party base, raised this prospect by saying there was already a Third Party, headed by “good guys” like Ted Cruz as opposed to the “GOP machine.” [Sarah Palin pushes 3rd party of 'good guys' by Jose Delreal, Politico, September 24, 2013] Rush Limbaugh has called the Republican Party “irrelevant” and Erick Erickson of Redstate.com speculated that what's coming might be a “real third party movement that will fully divide the Republican Party.” [The Conservative War on the GOP by Molly Ball, The Atlantic, October 17, 2013]
Even Sean Hannity, who notoriously flip-flopped to support Amnesty following the 2012 elections, is now speculating about whether a third party might be necessary as “there's no difference between the two parties, at this point.” [Hannity Suggests 'Third Party' to Sarah Palin, Who Won't Rule Out 2014 Senate Run by Andrew Kirell, Mediaite, October 16, 2013]
There's also a political opening. According to a new poll from NBC and the Wall Street Journal, more people say they would vote for a Third Party than the Republicans. According to the poll, 35% of voters say they would support the Democrats, a figure that has been steady for three years. However, 8% of voters have abandoned their support of the GOP since it captured the House, leaving only 28% of voters willing to say they would support Republicans, while 30% say they would vote for a Third Party.

However, it’s important to note that, up to now, this Third Party talk has been tactical and emotional, rather than strategic and driven by substantial policy difference. Grassroots conservatives are obviously tired of supporting a party leadership that is constantly in retreat. After years of voting Republican and watching the country get worse, ordinary activists are beginning to understand that the Republican Establishment is complicit in the drive to dispossess Americans. Conservatism Inc. and the Obama Regime are objective allies. The historic American nation is their common enemy.
