A shift in the wind

Frustration with the 'old guard' Republican party is building. From The Right Scoop:

THIRD PARTY? Sarah Palin warns GOP: If you abandon us, we�ll abandon you�
Today Sarah Palin sent a warning shot over the bow of the GOP, suggesting that if they continue to back away from the principles in our party, people are going to form a new party and she might be among them (h/t: Daily Caller):

I love the name of that party � the �Freedom Party�. And if the GOP continues to back away from the planks in our platform, from the principles that built this party of Lincoln and Reagan, then yeah, more and more of us are going to start saying, �You know, what�s wrong with being independent,� kind of with that libertarian streak that much of us have. In other words, we want government to back off and not infringe upon our rights. I think there will be a lot of us who start saying �GOP, if you abandon us, we have nowhere else to go except to become more independent and not enlisted in a one or the other private majority parties that rule in our nation, either a Democrat or a Republican.� Remember these are private parties, and you know, no one forces us to be enlisted in either party.

Sarah Palin is not the first to warn the GOP of a possible third party. Just the other day Mark Levin gave the Republican leadership a similar warning:

And I want to warn the Republican Leadership about something. If I and millions of us decide to leave you; if I and millions of us � the conservative base, the constitutionalists, that taxpayers, the people who make this country work � if we decide to leave you, you�re finished. You�re kaput. You�ll never be in the majority again.

And God knows you�re provoking us.

We need another Ronald Regan, we need some adults in the room. The time for power games is over. Our representatives are out of touch with reality. The next six months will be interesting. I know that Dr. Levin has a book coming out in a few months dealing with this very issue.
