“To borrow a quote and change a party name from the greatest GOP POTUS to hold office I didn’t leave the GOP it left me.”
Reagan moved from one of our two Party system to another. Geez put on your thinking cap. He went from a Dem to a Pub, got it? Not to a Perot-type party, not to the Libertarians, not to a Green Party (if it had existed back then), but from one of our two parties to the other. Again, if you don’t like the Pub Party, start your own or go over to another one. There are plenty to choose from. Go over to the Constitutional Party. Just go. If you aren’t willing to make your own Party more conservative from within and without hating your own Party all of the time, then it’s time you leave. Don’t let the door slam....
The two vastly differing on most issues sides of the GOP can no longer exist together nor is it healthy for our nation for the GOP to remain as such a party. Either the Rockefeller Liberals or the Conservatives are going to have to leave the building and stay gone.
The GOP has been taken over basically by the same ones who control the Democratic Party and it seems there is no turning it back. The only thing that can end it is to defund it as many have started doing even here in FR and vote for individual candidates based solely on their own platform, record, and character. For me sometimes it's a Republican and sometimes it's a Conservative third party. I will never vote a straight party ticket again or party sake.
