Is it true that Christians Conservatives are going to work on forming their own 3rd party?

This is just a rumor I saw floating around on a few conservative and not so conservative message boards.





On the conservative message boards they were blaming McCain for not attacking on moral issues.





On the not so conservative message boards, they were blaming his choice of Palin and saying if went with a moderate he would have won.





What do you think?Is it true that Christians Conservatives are going to work on forming their own 3rd party?
That would be great. It's always easier when you can identify the Taliban.Is it true that Christians Conservatives are going to work on forming their own 3rd party?
The right-wing religious zealots of the Republican Party are a big part of the reason that John McCain lost this election.





They have enough numbers so that the Republicans need them but their views on creationism in the public schools, no right to choose an abortion in the case of even rape or incest, and their reluctance to have the government help anyone in need put them way outside the norms of the general electorate.





So if a Republican running for office doesn't cater to them, they lose. If they do cater to them, they lose.





I suspect that the right-wingers will be shocked to see just how far to the left the Republican party will move over the next two years or so. The party will have to appeal to more groups that are unattainable unless they drop the religious stuff.





It's either that or die! And there aren't enough right-wing religious conservatives to form their own party and win more than a few seats in the House and Senate. They would NEVER win the White House. (Now there's a scarry thought).





God's law does not supercede man's law in the United States and we can only ';pray'; that it stays that way.
Conservative Christians like myself have no one to blame excpet ourselves. We knew John McCain was a moderate but we allowed him to be nominated by not rallying behind a real conservative, but unfortunately we became divided between Romney and Huckabee. I don't see a thrid party forming unless the Republican really starts drifting left.
I think Palin was a mistake. Social conservatives are a minority. To win, a candidate has to reach out to the center, and Palin was feared and hated by the center. So she did well with the social conservative base, but she drove more educated fiscal conservatives into the arms of the Democrats. Lieberman, who McCain really wanted, would have been a much better choice.
well McCain was the moderate. Palin was the hard core conservative. so the big reason he chose Palin was to gain support with those christian conservatives.





Given their rationale on what happened in the election i'd say it isn't going to happen since they don't know anything about what they are complaining about.
oh, without a doubt





there is no question whatsoever...the christian far rights will break off and be the party of the surburban white older folks and anti-intellectuals.





the real republicans will be close to the center and reject the other party...





the republican party will no longer be a single party...they will split to neocons and moderates...even the top conservatives are saying that on both sides..some saying they need to go much further right, and others saying they must now gain the trust and vote of the young and urban voters...





dont expect to see another republican president for at least 16 years, perhaps more.
Well there is actually a group called the christian coalition and it basically already does the things that your thinking of. Why would you attack morals? that's not being an ethical speaker. but his choice of sarah palin deffinitly was not a good one. although it is the opposite of mccain she is not a intelligent speaker and her ideas are very dry and simplistic and plain. I think he lost only because since the economy crisis and the wars that the republicans have been the pres and a majority in the congress seats, so people think if they change the party the change the direction our country is going in.
Going to take too much money to make a real go at it against the existing 2 parties. There are plenty of 3rd parties that end up endorsing major party candidates. Unless they're running their own candidates, they'll never get anywhere. Don't look for it to happen quickly. They're just not that patient.
I disagree with the Palin argument, but would definately support a third party.....and a fourth and a fifth. There are too many differences in core values out there to be satisfied and adequately represented by the two existing parties. Parties have come and gone throughout our history. They were formed in response to the issues of the time in which they existed. It is time again.
I think it would be a good idea. The Republican party cant afford to keep associating themselves with the right wing christian conservatives. They will not be able to win another election if they do that. It is obvious that the majority of people are more to center.
Liberals hate Palin. Watch, I guarantee you they won't stop attacking her. There's a reason for that. She is a true conservative.





As for a 3rd party, no. Conservatives need to take control of the Republican party back from these so-called moderates.
I think that we have never seen the hell that we will in the next few years.





By the time Hussein is finished the Christians will be driven underground like rats.





What he doesn't know is that every time evil has tried to do this, it has always backfired.
Christians (and I am one) cannot bring themselves to agree on hardly ANYTHING enough for something like that to be successful, hence the numerous denominations. Besides that, Jesus is King of Kings, and you do not vote for a King.
I think that would be a great idea, they will stop voting republican and all be grouped up together... it would be great for us Democrats I say go for Yest proved to me that their aren't as many ideological nuts as I thought their were in this country
I'm a fiscal conservative and I'd rather get the neocons out of the GOP and keep the moral conservatives. At least they don't pretend to be something they aren't.
Republicans with their divisive politics ended up dividing their own party. Palin and Bush can't be the best ambassadors for Christians in this country.
When have religious conservatives and not so religious conservatives ever agreed on anything? The rumor you are seeing is probably a...Rumor!
If they're not, they should be. Rush said today that Conservatives didn't lose the election; they weren't even on the ballot!
I hope that they do. That will hopefully destroy that part of the Republican Party that has no business in politics.
Their will be talk but most reasonable people know the Republican party has no chance if it splits.
Ewww...I hope not.





The last thing we need is a bunch of Jesus freaks making decisions based on how they interpret the bible.
They don't need to, they already have one, its called The Republican party.
don't they already have the so called 'moral majority' ? where is ole jerry falwell these days ?
The pity-party
They won't win anything and will disband as fast as they form.
Doubtful. The numbers aren't there.
probaby.
probably.
They should.. So they can lose again, maybe they will ';get it'; the next time around.........
I bet the majority of Republicans would love for them to leave.
No Christians need to get on their knees more and convert more sinners
