In the last eight years, we have witnessed a complete dismantling of the conservative movement in the United States. As a conservative, I no longer have any faith whatsoever in the Republican Party, but it has become practically impossible to elect third party or unafilliated candidates. This is caused by a self-perpetuating cycle caused by those in power, who wish us to believe that no third party candidate could ever gain enough votes to be elected to high office, and since we believe this, we choose not to "waste" our votes, and therefore limit ourselves to two choices.
The obvious solution is to form a national Third Party with a loose affilliation of state parties devoted to destroying the two-party system. The party would not be devoted to any specific political ideology, only to faith in the principle that the people deserve more than two choices. It would begin as a grassroots movement in smaller states, gradually getting candidates on the ballot, and forcing the two parties to allow our candidates into debates.
Eventually, the Party could turn to national offices, and attempt to solidify a position as a viable third party. It would have to be done as Ross Perot did, gathering funds and support by vicious campaigning and gaining popularity with voters.
To do this, the Party must debunk the myths that have invaded American politics, namely that only two candidates per election are electable, and that write-ins are useless. There is a growing population of disenfranchised voters in America, that understand this, and if given the opportunity, would vote for and support a third party.
If the constitution and America's liberty is to survive, it must be done.
Good luck.
