Considering the race of Doug Hoffman, who is rather openly running as a “Conservative Republican” and being backed by other “Conservative Repulicans” such as Sarah Palin should be enough o a hint to America that maybe the Conservatives should just go ahead and annonces as a true “Third Political Party” I see no problem with Democrats, Republicans and Conservatives. matter of fact were that the case, more African Americans might be likely to vote Republican. Were it not for the demagogues on the far right of the Republican party, the very ones who would best be served by a Conservative party, I myself would be more likely to see Republican as an option. There is such a wide gulf between moderate Republicans and conservative Republicans that I, for one, do not see the need to continue the charade of them both occupying the same political tent. Or hell, better yet. the moderate Republicans could schism and rebrand as the “Petriot Party” boy wouldn’t THAT muddy the waters.
