They really can’t find 30 men??? Are we kidding???
DAMNED STRAIGHT!!!
I don’t think I ever made a definitive stand, per se, about leaving the Party. I just gradually stopped voting for most of the GOP candidates on my ballot. Left things blank.
I’ve exclusively voted GOP my entire voting life. Never once voted for a Dem or an independent. I thought the Republicans used to share the same beliefs and values I did. This notion has been obliterated to pieces for me in just the past few years. First, it was Bush pushing amnesty. Then, it was the backstabbing treatment given Palin. Nowadays, I see the GOP funding things like Obamacare and Obama’s lawless amnesty, and completely running away from family values by letting the homo-fascists run wild trampling on our liberties. I no longer see a single, solitary reason to vote Republican anymore. They spit on me and my values just as much as the Dems.
In turns out that most of the GOP congress critters are much more worried about what Boehner is going to do to them- than they are worried about what voters are going to do to them.
But this isn't even moderate old Ike's Party any more. Nelson Rockerfeller and Jacob Javits? Yep. They'd recognize it for sure! But Ike might even disown it.
If they elect that drunken clown Boner again, it likely will be because (to paraphrase a Proverb) without a vision the Party will perish, and sure as hell if they elect him they are as bad as he is and they don't have any themselves. They won't have any base, either.
Then maybe after 62 years it will be time for a change?
My thread snapped way back in 2005.
I left after the disastrous 2010 lame duck session in which the GOP refused to muster the forces to fight the repeal of DADT and the ratification of that God-awful START II treaty with the Russians. I vote for conservatives who happen to be Republican, but that (R) tag is meaningless to me, except to toss that POS Harry Reid out of the majority leader status.
I'm always on the lookout for a bona fide conservative. My congressional representative (Garrett) is pretty solid.
We used to talk about “Inside the Beltway” and “Potomac fever”. I think that these terms describe the malady which Republican representatives get once they go to Washington. Too much socialization with the “wrong” people.
John Boehner could make himself a hero by announcing that he no longer wants the speakership.
um.. knowing the intelligence of the average voter... I bet 60% didn’t even know who the speaker and senate majority leader are!
These boneheads have brought this on themselves by agreeing to every harebrained nitwit program that the neo-Soviets in the former Democratic party can dream up in what’s left of their fevered little minds. I’ve been done with them for a while now.
I don’t get excited about any of this. Mainly because this problem we have is too far gone to be fixed by elections.
When nothing you do seems to work, it most likely because nothing you are doing will be fixed by conventional means.
This national disgrace and problem is just that. National. DC lives in their own bubble of power, lies, and greed, but the corruption has spread like a cancer.
They needed a poll to find this out? They probably also have to use flashlights to find their ho hos.
I bolted long ago. I have no desire to be affiliated with the “establishment” of republicans or demorats either one. Both have failed the voters that are trying not to fail the nation and they have submitted to the stringed money of the left.
Cadell has said so many good things in recent years. But yesterday on Fox, he was gushing about Mario the Pious—what a “uniter” he was, in contrast to “modern” Democrats.
A disappointment. Mario the Bishop Beater a “uniter.”
I have been recommending that people withhold their 2015 Republican dues until they get rid of Boehner and Steve Scalise. .
Scalise to s so bad as Whip that they may as well have elected Lois Lerner as Republican Whip.
I like to vote in the primaries, but that’s it.
I do not donate to the GOP.
I’m done.
