Why wait for facts? Just run on out the door and join the Democrats. Hillary's waiting for you.

I can never vote for a Democrat (exception: Zell Miller). But I won't bother to vote at all if there's no difference in the parties.

I'm genuinely surprised and elated at the response I've gotten so far. I expected a bunch of "Don't let the door hit ya where the Good L-rd split ya" but instead I'm recieving a lot of agreement.

The Republican Party better take note of the incredible dissatisfaction in their party.

"But I won't bother to vote at all if there's no difference in the parties."

Works for me. Since I vote Republican, and my DH votes whichever way the wind is blowing on Election Days, your NOT voting will make MY Republican vote twice as strong. (Well, maybe not in voter fraud-riddled Wisconsin, but you catch my drift.)

While I largely agree with your Opus, and am frustrated as h#ll myself, I can live with your decision to leave the party, or to stop voting.

Here's a thoughtful Opus on the reasons for not voting:

Zig Zag Zell stands for nothing. Voting for him you know exactly what you are getting, nothing but the direction the wind happens to be blowing. I have to wonder if were ever a Republican to begin with.
