One month after Donald Trump took his oath of office, Rep. Justin Amash (RMich.) pinned at the top of his very active Twitter feed George Washington's famous farewell address warning against "the baneful effects of the spirit of party generally."
This morning, not seven weeks after breaking ranks with this party in calling for impeachment proceedings against the president, Amash announced in a Washington Post op-ed that he's leaving the GOP and declaring himself an independent.
"Today, I am declaring my independence and leaving the Republican Party," the five-term congressman wrote. "No matter your circumstance, I'm asking you to join me in rejecting the partisan loyalties and rhetoric that divide and dehumanize us
.The two-party system has evolved into an existential threat to American principles and institutions."

You know, the door, your butt, the way out. See ya’ jerk.
Isn’t Amash an anti-semitic PLO stooge?
Good riddance.
IDIOT. I can’t believe that i actually liked him at one time. We don’t need another hidden agenda deceiver in CONgre$$. We have plenty already. As you learn more, you adjust your thinking.
We need to find a good Trump-Republican to run against him next election.
What he’s declaring is his allegiance to the Bush Plan for North Mexico.
Flimsey Grahamnesty should be so honest.
Libertarians are mostly cowards these days, yelling “both sides are bad” and yet in practice being more vocal against the right, in hopes the left won’t call them bigots for believing in property rights
Give him a tube of K-Y and send him to the Dem caucus.
He’s just a queer anyway. Good riddance.
Wow, that just simplified things.
I hope he enjoys his well-deserved obscurity after he is kicked out on election day.
A cheesy opus from a cheesy individual.
What a smacked ass this guy turned out to be...
Good riddance. Weeding out the Weasels, the Spineless, and the Turncoats...
Yep. Arab assclown.
Isnt Amash an anti-semitic PLO stooge?
************************************
Thats likely but it is certain that he is an open borders advocating puppet of the Chinese.
He has clearly been nothing more than an opportunist who rode into Washington pretending to be a conservative, patriotic Republican. He is none of those.
Amash is no different than say Karl Rove or Romney. All this idea that it is principles is bogus cover for serving their own selfish ends. In Amashs’ case it is China China China.
Bye...(if I say anything else my post will be removed!)
