Alan Keyes Floats Religious Right Third Party
Submitted by Brian Tashman on Tuesday, 12/3/2013 11:20 am
Angry over the GOPs surrender in principle on issues of fundamental right like abortion and the rights of the natural family, Alan Keyes thinks that it may be time for a third party that will represent the far-right.

(14,400 posts)party would have much of an impact on any potential Democratic voter other than the induction of laughter as the nuts and teabaggers further split the GOP.
on edit this is a different wackjob. I was thinking Herman Cain and the teabaggers. Keyes would pull of the religious nutjob wing of the party not the teabag nutjob wing.
Too many nutjob wings for me to keep track of.

(13,190 posts)Allan Lichtman said if the candidate running as a 3rd party candidate comes out of a particular party it doesn't hurt the party in power unless it's someone like Bernie Sanders if Sanders runs we are SCREWED!!! even thought he is independent it would split the democratic party in the Presidential election electing someone like Christy or even Rudio

(28,243 posts)Isolate the rabid right-wingers in their own sick echo chamber, where winning elections is a side issue. Yeah, go for it, Keyes.

Like I said... Weird.

(14,255 posts)a member of the house, but can be anyone who is a U.S. citizen - who would impeach Obama and then be the next president - why does that make me think Alan wants to be prez without going to the bother of an election? Or maybe it is felt that is the only way a Cruz type can get to be president, by gaming an already corrupt system.

(144,924 posts)The GOP is having a war inside itself. The right wing hardcore base are demanding policies that will make it very hard for the GOP to win national elections. The GOP's only choices are to give into the base or risk a portion of the base breaking off to form third party.
