Anybody laid claim to the USA Party.

Yawn.

No third party. It is an idiotic idea.

Idiotic, #3??? Conservatives pin their hopes on the GOP "leadership" over and again - like Charlie Brown and Lucy´s football - and consistently get shunted aside once they have been properly "used" by the elites. Remember that the GOP was itself a "third party".

Of course, you´ll be quick to point out the Perot effort and the Reform Party. That failed because it started from "zero", with no elected politicians jumping over to give it some gravitas; it was a "top down" operation with all decisions made in Dallas; and its POTUS candidate "flaked out" at the last minute (because someone got to him?).

A better model is the NY Conservative party, which acts as a ballast on the state Republican Party. It often endorses GOP candidates who adhere to conservative principles, keeping the party honest.

It´s futile to start from "zero", and unnecessary. Time for conservatives in Congress and in state offices to switch. A new party needs to reflect the Tea Party model, and engage citizens in the process from the local level up. It can act as a pressure point in the short-term, endorsing conservative candidates in other parties, until it achieves critical mass.

We need to remember what Einstein said about "insanity". Time to try something different. There is a political void to be filled.

As the Republican Party has made it clear that they have a problem with the conservative point of view, a third party is not a stupid idea. They can not win without us, and if I have no voice with them, then my vote will go elsewhere.

Dittos to what poster # 5 said.

it should be called the american renaissance party

Hmmmmm...let´s see.....wonder who should head up this effort?

"American Renaissance" is already taken, #8. I don´t think we´re allowed to post from their website.

In NY State, a political party´s name cannot contain the word American or America.
George Wallace found that out in 1968.

But a third party would guarantee the continued dominance of the far left democrats. Not a good idea right now.
Better to find and support conservative republican candidates, who know how to campaign. And know when to shut up.

#5 is right on the money. The gop is too far gone for redemption.
No matter what they call this new party, I will give them a serious look.

Thats what I get for reading too fast. I like half of #5´s.
Returning to the starting line is a good thing if your horse has been running backwards.

Perhaps this would be a trial balloon worth floating: “The Common Sense Party”

Way overdue but of course the Republicrat goobers will be apoplectic. Last election we had a real unemployment rate > 16%; not experienced since the Depression and doofus Romney, the choice of the R establishment, managed to lose decisively. But the party of Hoover, Landon, Wilkie, Dewey, Stassen, Dole, the Bush buffoons, Mcain, ect; insists ´we don´t need no stinkin change´.
The hapless GOP is way, way past its expiry date.

The country/world will be in such a mess by 2015, a new third party will emerge.

Constitutional Party of the Republic, or CPR for short. If the Republic does not need it now, it will shortly.

Has the Bull Moose Party been used?

Second post: How many years or decades will it take a third party to jump from 0 votes to more than 50 million votes? That is how years we´ll lose control of the government to the evil D´s.

Idiotic is idiotic.

Buh bye, toodles, Ariva derci, chow, Bon voyage, hasta lavista, have a good one. Forget going rogue, go Larouche!

AIM -- Americans In Motion
The name is less important than the action. Frankly who would have thought Hope and Change, followed by Forward, would have made it.

The Tea Party is a fairly well organized group. I would like to see it testing the waters by talking to conservatives, which may include politicians. Certain rules need to be created, for example, term limits, identical health and pension plans as the people, no lobbyists.

And waiting until 24 months before the next presidential election will get us nowhere. Action needs to start immediately after Obama is sworn in, as in the following day. Gives serious thinkers just a couple of weeks.

No. This will hand the dims power from here to kingdom come. We have to replace our Repub leadership. In house races. Governors. Senators. State houses. This will take time and patience but a third party for us spells doom.

Never thought i´d see the day but right now hubby & I are both pretty dissolutioned with the GOP pols. Why do the cave to 0bama´s irresponsible spending policies and why is Lindsey Graham nearly the only one out there in the media speaking for the GOP? ...When even both Show Me state U.S. Senators, Blunt(R?) & McCaskill(D!) vote for more & more 0bama spending bills, which they haven´t even read, it is quite alarming.
