***A New Political Party Is Needed***

Posted by Felegund; and I dont feel like signing up over at C4L.

"Yes, it's tru that we shook up the GOP a bit this year. And that with little funding and only a handful of members. But the fact that they broke the rules so easily just shows that the party kingpins will do whatever it takes to keep their interests running, EVEN IF a true conservative is nominated.
Short of putting together a campaign fundraiser to buy up NBC or CNN or some other station, it's not likely that we can break the media/party dictatorship from the inside.
From a military viewpoint, this is when you're supposed to blitz. Hit so fast and so hard, noone in charge can figure out how to respond. We have to be ready, in 2010, under the guise of a new party, to throw so much weight behind our cause that our opponents cannot stop us, and convince the people that LIBERTY is the answer, not BIG GOVERNMENT.
No, the CP and LP are not the best answers. But we can build a new party that properly captures the spirit of the movement, and establish it faster."

New party??!?!?, are you people for real? Of the 99% of the people that voted about half of them are supposedly your base and they validated the system and the party. Where the hell were the millions of you voting for Baldwin? Face it, you have an over inflated sense of your support and backers, evident by that atrocious showing on the votes. Any "grassroots" effort to build a new party will be... Slow, if you go by the votes the most you'll have at startup if they follow suite is what 200k, and thats the most. You'll then face an uphill challenge when the party(I mean the duopoly) wage war against you through ad campaigns, rumor smears(this is private word of mouth), news smears(this is public news hit pieces on your leaders and members) and infiltration. You cant reach the majority of the sheople and will be relegated to 3rd party status, we all know how that works out. Sure you guys were energetic and enthusiastic but you just dont have the numbers and the people you hope to effect are set and institutionalized in their ways for the rest of their miserable lives. It turns out the majority of people are easily programed and follow the status quo. You minority of energetic and resourceful people should be like water and take the path of lest resistance, exploit those sheople, their just there to be sheared, thats what their good for.

You people need to get away from the idea that theres hope, time and time again its demonstrated that the system is bought and payed for and works for their benefit first and foremost above everyone else. Your either locked out of power, or locked up for resisting it. The writing is on the wall, these people arent going away, they are in it for the long haul, forever. This isnt the NEW world order, its the same OLD world order thats been around since its inception. This old world order was only thrown off ONCE at a time when there was enough distance from the power to foment dissent and which restricted the power of that order from being used to its fullest. In our day and age their is no space far enough away from them to build a force against them, they are HERE amongst us everywhere and in everything. It is a hopeless battle that if you engage in know its pointless or suicidal. The BEST one can hope for is to live your life with as little interaction with the unlawful government as possible.

Its time to turtle up, and when they come for you thats when it will get ugly because every attempt will be a fight for them.

Hell the Republicrats support each other and so should we. Form a consortium that links all 3rd parties and has a primary election so that all once agreed all would back it's winner through November?
What do you think?

Dr. Paul will go Republican Party and I hope he will announce and campaign with his vice president choice right from the beginning. Then I hope Libertarian Party more closely works with him to have a candidate that works for him and then runs afterwards with his endorsement right from the moment that he doesn't win the Republican nomination, if he doesn't. So they totally back each other up. Then I think we should reach out really hard to the other third parties to join together as the only third candidate. If it is possible to get in all 50 states, that has to be done. If it is not possible, then it needs to be worked out some way legally so that somehow that third party candidate is on all 50 states. But the third party candidate should support Dr. Paul and vote for him and support him through the primary. I know the actual candidate cannot vote for him in the primary if they are running in any other party. But the voters can. And I think we need to get tv come hell or high water. We have to have some tv and we have to have a determination to WIN. If not Libertarian party then Independent, but someone Dr. Paul can totally throw the ball back to to carry it over the finish line.

some thought. I think starting over from scratch would be extremely difficult. Right now the current third parties are in place and in most of the states. What we need to do is get one of the third parties to take on Dr. Paul's platform who ever is willing to go with his platform and message. I will work very hard for them and donate. If we were to go shopping for a third party in mass and whichever party steps up we could try and get them in every state and start getting candidates lined up and promoted to 2010. If we started PR and sound bites now by 2010 our candidate and party would be in a good position to be heard.

I agree that we need a new party to compete against the duopoly. There are some points I'd like to point out. We all know that money, ballot access and media coverage are all of the essence. Dr. Paul has proposed a ballot access bill to Congress called the Voter's Freedom Act. It consists of lowering the state's signatures to 1,000 signatures, unless it's less than 1,000 signatures. We need to contact the representatives in DC. We also know that the duopoly uses our taxpayer money to fund their conventions (about $60 million a piece) and we could propose something like letting all taxpayers decide how much money to give to parties, whether it's one or many (as you might recall, taxpayers can choose to give $3 of their money to parties). I'm starting my own website soon that's going to be dedicated to electoral reform and third party/independent candidates.

The name is unimportant. Aside from what it stands for, the only thing that matters, in the case of a new Third Party, is what presidential candidate the party runs in the future. That's the only thing the public will pay any attention to, and his words are the only thing that will carry any weight initially. The standard bearer calls the tune.

Personally I think we should put off starting a new party a few months, until it's clear whether or not Ron Paul will run again.

but how does this avoid the 3rd Party hurdles you mention?
