... that the Party of No will retake the House in 2010? Well... even if Newt Gingrich is wrong about a breakaway third party of disgruntled rightists, unless grassroots Repugs follow Mike Huckabee's suggestion to cheat, there is no chance. Would a man of Gawd, like Rev Huck for example, suggest to Republicans that they steal elections? Watch for yourself as he gave Virginia Republicans their marching orders today: ...

... A WARNING: “Former House speaker Newt Gingrich is warning of a third party mutiny in 2012 if Republicans don’t figure out a way to shape up.” It could happen. People think the Tea Party protests are pro-Republican, but they aren’t, really, and they could easily turn pro-third party if the GOP doesn’t live up to its small-government claims. And that’s not a living-up it’s been very good at in recent years. ...

Sister Toldjah —
... ST put this warning from Newt Gingrich about a third party springing up in 2012 up in Hot Headlines yesterday, which gives me the perfect opportunity to launch into my thoughts on this possibility. I’ve been tossing this around for the last 4 years, since President Bush’s re-election, when I became convinced that a significant portion of the Republican Party was more interested in purchasing the middle by growing government than actually opposing the Socialization of America espoused by the Democrats since LBJ.
