Viable third party emerges in Florida

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

A Florida conservative has registered an official "Tea Party" with the office of the Secretary of State, and is promising to run candidates against Republicans and Democrats in state and national races.

"The current system has become mired in the sludge of special interest money that seeks to control the leadership of both parties. It’s time for real change,” says Orlando lawyer Frederic O’Neal, the new party's chairman, who couldn't be reached immediately by phone, in a press release.

A spokeswoman for the Florida Secretary of State, Jennifer Davis, said the party had registered in August, and that its qualified candidates will appear on the ballot in the state.

O'Neal compared his party's role to that of the Conservative Party in New York's 23rd District.

Dan Semenza, a Lake County Republican Party executive committee member, has attended several tea party rallies. However, he said he wouldn't consider switching affiliations anytime soon.

"Unless the vast majority of Republicans switched, I wouldn't switch," he said.

The news, however, is good for the fledgling conservative movement, Semenza added.

"It does mean that the Tea Party has considerable strength," he said. "It's interesting."

Mark Esche, vice president of the Leesburg Area Democrats, welcomed the development.

NY-23 for Mel Martinez' Senate seat? Charlie (R.) vs. Marco (T.)? Sweet.

What is the test for viability? Being ten yards to the right of the GOP?

They demonstrated their viability in NY23.

How?

How?

By forcing out one of the mainstream parties and finishing #2. Most third parties don't.

By that criteria the British National Party are viable. I'm getting a head shave and an appointment in the tattoo parlour.

It was what 46% to 49%? Thats pretty @^!^@# close. And proves the conservative party is viable.

There was a little Tea Party just down the street from my home over the weekend. Some 15 or 20 deranged folks on a street corner waving funky signs. But hey, they have the right to make fools of themselves and I support that right.

Mind you, with the suicidal Brown politics in the UK today, you might really be right and then where will I be? I'll be having to purchase a genuine china tea set soon.

In California, baby. It's always safe for a librul on the Left Coast. Best place on earth, after NYC.
