Congrats!
You should take the time to inform the GOP why you did. I did just that every time they sent me a solicitation for cash donations. If we all did that they might finally get it.
Congrats. I did it three presidential election cycles ago.
Good on you. The GOP has been dead to me since 2012. I would be happy if conservatives could form their own party, but it probably won’t happen. Tough getting enough money to wage campaigns with any hope of winning.
Now if the few conservatives left in the party could somehow topple the party’s liberal regime, maybe I’ll come back. But it doesn’t look likely in the foreseeable future.
Anyway, enjoy your freedom. I am.
Did it around a year ago.
I will rejoin after I can take a bodacious Obama on the graves of the GOP House and senate leaders.
As much as that has to feel good, it also removes your opportunity to at least TRY to stop the bleeding.
As a registered Republican my first vote as a Texan was for Cruz in the preliminaries (when he “didn’t have a chance”).
But if it is cleansing then more power to you.
Good for you! Now you can join the ranks of those who choose to vote the direction the political wind blows...........
I thought about that too, but I want to vote against any GOPe’s in the primary so I am still registered (R).
But my votes will definitely go against the e’s.
GO NAVY — loved that Army-Navy game!
I’m one step behind you.
Doesn’t that mean only that you can’t vote for conservative candidates in the primary? e.g. Ted Cruz or Sarah Palin if they ran.
Made a big car small and a small car big???
Good for you. I just wish there was an actual party we could chose to be a member of.
Always voted GOP yet have never “registered” as a party. My Texas Voter Registration card requires no such choice thus I go conservative best in the primaries and against the socialist democrat in general elections.
Personally I am loyal to conservative values not people who say they are conservative yet perform like a liberal or moderate socialist. Be they someone we chose yesterday by accident or someone we choose tomorrow on purpose if they stray from conservative values we are not obligated to keep supporting them or staying quiet about their performance.
..... Thus the reason I vote on ones record versus ones promises. Anything less is IMHO a risky bet at best. Such as the lesser of two evils concepts we are usually presented during an election. No polidiot is perfect, no polidiot deserves blind silent devotion. Politics has a human element as we all know and is fallible to the nth degree. Constant attention to it’s every act is the effort that must be maintained to preserve our beloved republic and liberty.
Just my opinion of course.
Stay safe !
did it myself about 6 or 7 years ago.
You stuck it out longer than I did. I bailed back when they nominated McCain for president.
Sweet! Did it a few months ago myself.
Yeah - that’s what I remember - I felt clean.
Now, you can scream at both sides, with equal viciousness.
Just as I have done, since I have registered Libertarian. I might not agree with their total platform, but here in Louisiana, an ‘independent’ is looked upon as a wanton child, not sure of which party they really want.
I did it the day that McCain got the nomination in ‘08. I tried once before the day that GWB called me a racist for not supporting amnesty but I chickened out after sitting in the parking lot of the county election office for 25 minutes.
It is really quite liberating. Like watching an old girlfriend that cheated on you whose life has turned into an ongoing train wreck.
I still vote for them because I have no alternative but at least I don’t affiliate with them anymore.
