I echo your sentiments eggzackly but if you live in Texas, as your name implies, you won't be changing your political affiliation by registration, as Texas does not register people by political party or so I've been told.
It don’t matter I need no stinking card or affiliation! They won’t stop you from voting though. I will never support the Republican party and I will vote if I feel like it from Hearon! I used to be a dedicated RNC member and though I don’t have a lot of money I would give the little that I had to support the cause...after this not anymore! If I see a decent Democrat candidate that I like and I think he’ll do fine I will cast my vote for that person in future elections! I’m done with the RNC!
