If you’re not GOP, you can’t get rid of the RINOs in the primaries.

This isn’t a good plan.

I’ve never heard of voter registration indicating a particular political party in my state.

The GOPe doesn’t care if they are the second place party. I have seen numerous posts about FReepers telling off RNC fundraisers for years, yet it does no good. OK, I get your point, but considering the GOP leadership at the federal level, they don’t care if you drop your registration. To them, that is a an excuse for them to move more to the left to try to pick up more of Gruber’s idiots.

I have to laugh at these attempts to provide a “teachable moment” for Republicans.

Careful about what you are teaching!

The lesson you would teach “Washington” is that the Republicans need to be more like the Dems without actually becoming one.

You “take my ball home,” mostly single issue voters or libertarian”Paulies,” are the ones mostly responsible for the “uni-party” you so often complain about.

Want to “teach the Republican?” Take over Republican Party Leadership positions even if you have to lie about being a GOPe/ RINO type candidate!

You only effect change an organization if you hold power in that organization.

I don’t live in Boehner’s district. How about you? I was hoping they would primary him out of there, a good man was running.

In Ohio we declare our party affiliation when we appear at the polls, not before. My Congressman wouldn’t know if I changed my registration to Independent now. Literally. Do you honestly believe if I tried to re-register, the Bd. Of Elections would pick up the phone and call my Congressman to tell him people were changing their registrations? There won’t be anything on the ballot but tax levies for the next two years, so save the snark for another day, because YOU don’t understand how things work here.

Mike you know here in Erie County the conservative party is run by a handful of south Buffalo/West Seneca people with Lorigo as the figurehead. He desperately wants me to join his party but I haven’t yet.

I thought when Billy Delmont died things would change but no, others just slid in to his spot.

I probably will do that and try to buildup membership just to damage the rino chair Langworthy.

I do like Mike Long as a person but he is just like all the rest with patronage.

Not all States register with parties

Illinois, for example.

“I’ve considered registering as a republican just so I can vote in the primaries.”

In 30 years, I’ve not cast a primary vote for a single candidate who won. By the time the national primaries get to us, the race is decided these days.

I realized I don’t need to waste time as a registered republican to vote in a primary. I get the same effect if I right my candidate-of-choice’s name on a brick and throw it over a bridge into a nice river.

This is a time that tries men’s souls but if we do not rise to the occasion there is no hope at all for our country. Let us show that we learned something useful from the Greatest Generation and do our duty

In Texas your vote in a primary election registers you either a Republican or a democrat, whichever one you vote in.

if that is the case, and there is no good republican to vote for, then all GOP party members should vote for the weakest DEM on the ticket
