But you won’t get to vote in the 2014 primaries in most states if you “leave” the party. Besides, it’s already left you.
I give NO credit to any of the Republican members who voted no. The fix was in. Enough Republicans in what is considered “safe” seats were asked to vote yes, so that the rest of the cowards could vote no purely for purposes of political cover. If this vote was genuine, the entire GOP leadership team would be tossed out by the majority of Republican members whose will they supposedly went against by pushing this sell-out. There are only a handful of true conservatives in the GOP caucus and I don’t include Michelle Bachmann in that number. She sold her political soul to curry favour with the GOP-e in the primaries and is a shell of her former self. The Tea Party Caucus is a farce.
