Ah, well, I support the Republicans for a different reason though if that is why you joined I can under disappointment.

I don't believe Republicans can change things. I believe Americans can change things if our voice is loud enough. The Democrats as a party have become immoral, sided with the terrorists and close minded to anyone not 100% in line with them.

In contrast the Republicans are not a Christian Party but they do welcome Christians in the ranks as they welcome people of different beliefs, they are largely still pro-America and do allow some disagreement. Perhaps too much at the expense of conservatives at times....but still they haven't yet denied any one person out of a chance to be heard.

Given this I feel Republicans offer the best environment to promote the advancement of conservatism and have the historical weight to make significant change if successful. The biggest hurdles are a) Republicans being too spineless to defy the MSM and Dems b) grassroots activists failing to understand they have more power to influence change than they believe IF we respond as a group.

I'll give Dems this, their grassroots are typically more unified in making their voices heard. And their representatives have no relunctance to act as the majority even when the minority. From grassroots to representatives we need an attitude adjustment. An influx of confidence on thigh and a strategized union of grassroots activists to force Reps to acknowledge our desires.

i used to think republicans stood for change too i supported them for 10 years based on their promise to bring change..the only change i get now is now they no longer promise the sweeping cuts that brought them to power in the first place, but now they do spend like money is free and why not they don't feel the pain of working for it. now it's all testing various theories on governance none of which has to do with giving up the smallest part of their power now that they have it. I don't feel loyalty towards them anymore and i suspect that others who backed the party in 94 are also having second thoughts
