I am stopping by the courthouse after work and re-registering as an independent. I can NO longer stomach the Republican "party".

I bailed out of the GOP years ago.

They are all riding in the same limo.

Bottom line, the government and all those in it are corrupt to the core.

Fixing government by traditional means is not even an option.

Lisa Murkowski wasn’t enough of a clue?

I feel your pain. The Republican Party is responsible for my change of heart. No long will I pull the straight ticket lever.......I’ll vote issues and vote for those who have my best interest at heart......those who will not take me for granted like the Pubs have in the past.

I’ll vote against O whatever happens.

But if Romney is the best the Repubs have to offer, I’m no longer a Repub. I also will re-register as a Conservative. Period.

A PRESIDENT WHO'S RIGHT 10% OF THE TIME IS BETTER THAN ONE WHO'S RIGHT 0%!

Not much better,admittedly but Osama Obama will literally FINISH OFF this country in the next four years whereas Romney isn't likely to do so.

We don’t have an “Independent” option in Texas. At a primary election, one either votes in the Democrat primary or the Republican primary and that makes one either a Democrat or a Republican on the record. The person’s voter card is stamped Democrat or Republican when the person votes in the primary. One can think “I’m an Independent”, but the record and voter card shows either Democrat or Republican.

As my tagline says, The Republican Party is bigger than the presidency.

I’m not leaving the Republican Party. I go back and forth on what I’ll be doing in November, but the party is bigger than Mitt Romney and bigger than the presidency. I’m not going to punish the Tim Walbergs because I don’t like Mitt.

You don't go to war with the Army you want, but with the one you've got.

Bye.

The GOP is dead.

It is beyond me why any Conservative would vote for a party that consistently works in tandem with the Dems against Conservatives?!

Why continue this charade?

What pathology is this? Battered wife syndrome?

A one party system of two Socialist parties. Time for a third party.

Question/comment!

I certainly share your disgust with the GOP and have had the same feeling for some time.

When I go to vote, at least in NY, MOST but not all candidates usually run on both the GOP and the Conservative lines. After the best president in my life time, RR, I now only vote on the Conservative line but I remain a registered Republican so I can have some (very limited say) on who they run. The NY GOP is not known for giving a lot of options during a Primary but there are some.

Is this similar in other states? Is it possible that if all like minded individuals voted on the Conservative line the GOP would get the message or is it as I fear, the progressives have corrupted the GOP like they did to the democrats and there is no way to get their attention?

What would happen in your state if the Conservative line constantly received more votes than the GOP even if they were for the same candidate?

Romney is not my first choice, he certainly has a lot of warts and questions. But there is no question that he loves the USA will be a hell of a lot better POTUS than the imposter currently occupying the White House. Those that choose to go 3rd party or pout and sit home will have no one to blame if Bam gets another 4 years.

I downloaded a voter registration form today and changed my party affiliation to Independent as well. It is in the mail for tomorrow’s pickup. Sick of the BS.
