Prime Example of Why We NEED a THIRD Party!
And now the new RNC chairman is wading into the GOP debate over whether the party should moderate or remain ardently conservative.
“This is a no-brainer,” Steele told FOX News. “I’m a student of multiplication and addition, and not subtraction and division. My focus is on building a party that reaches across the board.”
Steele ripped into conservatives who want moderates purged from the GOP and rejected former Vice President Dick Cheney’s assertion that in terms of being a Republican, he’d go with Rush Limbaugh over former Secretary of State Colin Powell — who endorsed candidate Barack Obama for president.

The Republican Party needs to get back to what allowed it to be a winner in the 1980’s under Ronald Reagan. The simple honest philosophy of smaller government and individual freedom and responsibility created a huge tent that allowed moderate Democrats to support reasonable legislation that strengthened America.
Stop and think about people and relatives you know who are Democrats. Do you honestly think that the majority of them agree to what is going on in Washington? I truely believe that most family oriented voters have a conservative view for their families and their children. Too often we all get caught up in the propaganda of the media and the Democrats. Reagan’s honesty won moderate Democrats.
There is a struggle right now for who will run the party. All this baloney about getting rid of the Republican Party’s conservative roots is being orchestrated by the same people who pushed the moderate John McCain on us and he lost.
Stop and think about the last election. How did you honestly feel about the Republicans’ chances when you knew John McCain won the last primary. Then how did you feel when he selected Sarah Palin for his running mate. Most Republicans felt McCain’s chances were iffy at best until he introduced Palin. That’s when his campaign took off. Her conservative background is what gave the Republicans a chance.
Those of us who think a third party might be the solution, please look to history. Remember what the Chinese general said–if you ignore history you are bound to repeat it. Don’t forget what Ross Perot did. His third party split the vote and we got Bill Clinton. While some well meaning Republicans \made a statement\ by voting for Perot, they ended up helping Clinton win.
I highly recommend everyone read Mark Levin’s new book \Liberty and Tyranny\. It is outstanding. His website allows you free access to all his daily three hour radio programs. Locally you can pick up his show on WJR-AM 760 from 8pm to 10 pm.
Good luck to and God bless all Tea Party People.

The Republican and Democratic Parties have become so homogenized that there really is no marked difference between the trwo of them. A viable third, fourth, and fifth party in our political system would give a voice to so many that have become disenchanted because they feel like their vote doesn’t matter.

WE NEED THE AMERICAN PEOPLES PARTY (A.P.P.) THE REPUBLICAN PARTY HAS LET US DOWN.
We need to remove, impeach, Obama.
He’s no good. He’s a menace.
He’s destroying our beloved America.
We must act A.S.A.P. or we will all be
living in poverty…at his mercy.
