Hagel to form third party ? Rumor on Ray Taliafero this morning

[steve2470]

The only source I have is what Ray said this morning, around 4 AM EST. I haven't seen anything about Chuck Hagel so far today. Is Hagel really considering a third party ?

1. If he is, there goes the Republcian Party

I will NOT vote for a Republcian or a conservative, PERIOD

[Jackpine Radical]

5. Just what I was thinking.

The best thing to happen to the Puggies since Ross Perot.

[Junkdrawer]

2. the "MyCompanyCountsTheVotes" party...

It's expected to do surprisingly well... ;)

6. You got that right.

Specifically, he has ties to the Election Systems & Software (ES&S).

12. Damn, that's clever!

3. he is trying to position himself as a 'McCain Moderate'

when he's really - like McCain - quite conservative.

4. I've always hoped something like this would happen.

It makes a lot of sense. The neocon/fundementalists leave them no choice.

8. I look at the Hagels of their party ...

... as people I disagree with and have a very different philosophy than (and would never vote for) ... but, I do NOT view them as "evil and insane" as I do the Chimp, Frist, Santorum and the entire rest of the wing nut crowd.

14. So do I. Enjoy the merchandise, but don't touch.

I have to respect them for speaking out against their peers who put their party above doing what's right for the country.

But I'll never trust another Republican enough to vote for them. I have voted for Republicans in the past, but those days are over.

7. Party name

neo-commies

10. It'd set up a war in the GOP

Well worth all the :popcorn: you can eat :)

11. we have the moderate repugs here in alaska along with the other

ones. he should do that. it would collapse them.

[Chocolatebison]

13. It would go nowhere

Like all the other 3rd parties.

Our country is a 2 party system like it or not (local exceptions notwhithstanding

My apologies to Bernie Sanders
