Why would you assume nobody crosses over? (Help us, we've been zotted!)

This is in regards to the thread earlier about the "fake Republicans." Although it's hard to tell a fake anymore, this is a "real" letter from a "real" person. Why would you make the naive assumption that no one would ever cross over. It happens all the time when people get tired of the offbeat dictates of their party. Happens in both directions. When we get too sure of ourselves, we can start losing ground. Don't take anything for granted. You have to stay awake and make sure your ship is on course or you might end up somewhere you weren't expecting.

I may not be happy with the republicans but the democrats are dumber than I thought the were if they think I'll vote for that party of nut jobs.

So I stopped being a registered pubbie in 2000.

I didn't take out an add.

Notice though nary a word about enemies foreign and domestic? Wonder what country he lives in?

bedwetter!

Is a Republican in (the Marxist Republic of)really a Republican?? This sounds like it is a quote from Zell Miller, turned upside-down. Well, I'm sure he'll find purity somewhere....

[bitt]

sounds like the first few sentences of our common everyday troll......but someone was stupid enough to print it.

[Lakeshark]

No matter how much any one might be disappointed with the Pubbies.......

Someone actually thinks the moonbat democrats would be better? Not possible if it's a thinking, real person.

[Mr. K]

If this guy thinks these things then how the heck did he become a Republican in the first place?

Someone should check his voter registration.. I smell bull$hit...

We always find that amusing.

Fall on the sword. Then you can be a drama queen.

[Indy Pendance]

Your very first post here, how nice.

I'm a pretty disgruntled Republican, too. But I'll keep voting for them until some real conservatives turn up.

I just don't understand how anyone could cross the aisle to join the deteriorating band of nutjobs in the Democratic party. Unless maybe I were a lawyer in private practice or something.

[IronJack]

I believe in principles and ideals which my party has systematically discarded in the last 10 years.

That makes two of us. However, I'm not willing to forsake sanity just to prove a point. I'd rather work for change from the inside. But barring that, I could see leaving the New, Improved GOP.

compromised our international integrity by sanctioning torture,

i compromised my own integrity by reading this tortuous piece. i don't believe for a second this guy is a true Republican, much less conservative.

the reason this is published now is because this is exactly the way many dems feel about their own party.

they always do this...excuse others of being guilty of their own crimes.

[roylene]

Oh so many democrat talking points.
What a fake.

[tet68]

Every thing he said has come out of the mouths of democrats
and you want us to believe he's a republican?

Not buying it.

I vote ZOT!

[TomGuy]

I'm an Independent -- not even registerd, that's how independent.

So, I can support the best of both sides and throw mud at the rest. lol.

[BibChr]

Not sure why you want to drum up sympathy for this person. Could have said the whole thing in a sentence: "I'm a liberal who buys the MSM line, so I don't really fit in the GOP."

It was learn and change, or leave. He chose the latter. Fine, toodle-oo, I'm all for truth in labelling.

When I head a few weeks ago that Bush upped foreign aid to Africa the same day after seeing a report about illegal immigrants coming into Arizona, I questioned my allegiance to the Republican Party. I think if someone charasmatic comes along who actually has a plan to curb immigration, a serious Third Party will be born.
