I guess we have to make a ruling about who is actually "conservative" versus who just calls themselves "conservative" for political credit. It could get messy, no doubt. I'll concede the point.

If a true conservative, paleo or fiscal conservative, actually followed what they believe in, voted accordingly, I would have no problems with it. Hell, I would be ecstatic.
Even if a third party did get in, I don't think much would change. The machine is broken, changing the bearings isn't going to help much.
