Sarah Palin: Third Party Could Be Created If GOP Abandons Conservatives (VIDEO)


Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) claimed the GOP could take a big hit if it "continues to back away from the planks in our platform," suggesting some Republicans could look into forming a third party.

"Remember, these are private parties, and no one forces us to be enlisted in either party," Palin said.

"I think there will be a lot of us who start saying, 'GOP, if you abandon us, well, we have nowhere else to go except to become more independent and not enlisted in one or the other of the private majority parties that rule in our nation,'" Palin said.

The GOP establishment wants to sell out the Tea Party supporters. The press is just not reporting on that fact.

Take 20% or so of their vote and make it nearly impossible for them to win elections. Suicide is painless
