Limbaugh Makes a Case Against a Third Party Solution

In the aftermath of the September 12 Tea Party March on Washington, Rush Limbaugh ended his radio show attempting to make the case that America should not attempt to start a third party. I guess if you could not envision a different way to do politics then this would be sound advice.
However, some citizens see a way ahead where national party leadership is replaced by local citizen leadership -- one in which National and State organizations exists for serving local caucuses functioning in neighborhoods across the land, rather than the other way around.
Limbaugh's argument that there is a difference between the Republican and Democrat party sounds hollow given the two candidates offered in the last election. It sounds hollow given that the last Republican President abandoned the free market system (allegedly to save it). It sounds hollow given the actions taken by the Republican party when they had control of the government. Well, actions speak louder than words, and this American is taking action.
Recently a Republican leader in Maryland attempted to make the same argument. She suggested I should contact her later, that she would fix the problem with the Republican party. THEY STILL AREN'T GETTING IT. We the people are taking our rightful place in our constitutional self-government. Any party who fields a principled leader worthy of the name will be supported, but we the people will decide, not a broken political party machine. I for one care not about parties, only principles. And I am not going to compromise my principles, which is why I have affiliated with the Maryland Independent Party, and nationally with America's Independent Party.
I say declare your independence from the two-party system, and sign the Declaration of Independence from the Two-Party System. ...then participate in America's Caucus Training Institute, which are regularly-scheduled, one-hour training sessions, five days per week, Tuesday through Saturdays, at 11:00 am Eastern time. -- All are welcome.

Thanks for that
Well now, this is getting curiouser and curiouser. Its getting to be at least a monthly thing (or more) that he mentions it. In his lengthy exclusive with his Greta Van Susteren last month, it was an important point to emphasize in his derogatory way, as if it is the problem and not the solution. Oddly enough, there is back-room talk among liberals to do a similar thing despite Obama’s unified theory. (possibly only a threat so far)
Its starting to sound like Rush’s other favorite whipping post. Little does he realize or hear what people say in conservative circles. They may be a little more cynical than he is. But remember it was okay when Rush pushed (tested) his own theories in last year’s primaries. That sort of bucking the status quo, contrary to Party lockstep was alright – end justifies the means strategy.
I keep hoping one day he’ll decide it's the holy grail; obviously when HE sees there is no real hope in the RNC apparatus – which is what a lot of ol’ GOP-ers already concluded.
