I am seriously saddened that straight ticket voters have takin over the major lobbying force of the RNC. This includes the bulk of FR. At this point in the game, the Bush white house, or the Republican controlled congress could burn the Constitution, and impliment a communist state and these folks will still defend them and the ones rebelling will get banned..., or shunned.
JMHO....
Don't limit it to just pubbies. The dems are the same. That is why I call the the corrupt "Two-Party Cartel".They have built in all of the power so a legit 3rd party is almost impossible. Now they have you locked into their pockets. So I see not voting for them - just vote any other party. (You see why they got the "none of the above" off of a ballot).
