No, not for us, silly. Liberals, leftists, social democrats, progressives, Democrats and other non-conservatives need a third party like a hole in the head.
But that's what a majority of Republicans are now saying, for the first time - that they need a third party:
A majority of Republicans said for the first time that a third party was needed in American politics, according to a Gallup poll released Monday.
Fifty-two percent of Republicans, and an even stronger number of Tea Party supporters, support the creation of a major, third political party, underscoring the occasional tensions between grassroots conservatives and the GOP establishment.
While Americans in general are beginning to favor the idea of a third party, it's Republicans who are out front on the idea, led by the lunatics with the tea bags on their hats:

An overall majority of Americans, 52 percent, said that a third political party was needed; the most profound shift has come among Republicans.
The number of Republicans who said that a third political party was necessary was at an all-time high since Gallup first began tracking opinion on the issue in 2003. And while support for a third party has crept steadily upward in the GOP, for the first time, it represents a majority opinion.
Supporters of the Tea Party are even more likely to back a third party, the poll found. Sixty percent of Tea Party supporters back a third party, while 32 percent say the existing two parties are adequate.
Meanwhile, only 33% of Democrats currently favor the idea of a third party.
We can only hope they manage to pull off the creation of another, even more right-wing party than the Republican Party to split the conservative vote.
You have to wonder though what this new party's platform would consist of, when all the Republicans' mighty efforts to outlaw abortion, end Social Security and Medicare, repeal health coverage for children and people with pre-existing conditions, lower taxes for millionaires and billionaires, hamstring financial regulation, destroy the public education system, and so on just aren't ideologically pure enough for them.
