No Third Party

RUSH: The people yesterday at the tea parties were not caught up in personalities. They were there because of issues, and there were young people there, and there were people from all walks of life, and they are terribly concerned about what they see going on in their country. This was the result yesterday of tremendous substance, nothing personality oriented, nothing cult-like.

"Ron Paul is out there trying to take credit for it, by the way. He issued a big press release, but this is grassroots, this is why this kind of energy from the grassroots needs to be harnessed into the existing political apparatus that can actually win if it is built and structured right. That's the Republican Party. Third party can't win. Third party is not going to have any congressional candidates."

A third party isn't going to win seats anywhere. A coalition needs to be formed between free-speech libertarians, free-market religious conservatives and security hawks. Those votes need to be concentrated only on the GOP races next year otherwise the conservative vote will be divided and there won't be enough votes to win anything.
