Last straw for me after being a registered GOP my entire adult life (37 years). See my tagline.

I’ve been a Republican for 30 years now, since my first election (Reagan). I’ve threatened to leave, and most of my family has gone Constititonal or Amerian Independent, (depending on the state). This is basically the Puritan v. Pilgrim debate. Sarah actually set the model for how to behave inside the party: open mouth, start speaking truth.

Those are not GOP attacks. Those are RINO surrogates expressing their fear of Palin. It would be better if we could purge the party of the RINOs and then energize and grow the base.

Where are you going? Will you be a registered Independent?
