Rumors of a conservative/Republican Party split are grossly exaggerated.

[BigSkyFreeper]

I know what it means, and I will be the first one to tell anyone that a schism in the Republican party doesn't exist.

[EternalVigilance]

My sense is that there is no mass exodus from the GOP going on currently.

I made a personal decision to leave and to register as an Independent. Doesn't mean I won't support Republican candidates, I will. And I'll certainly never support a Democrat.

But my days as a party activist and organizer are over. I have other things to do with my life.

In many ways, I'm glad that part of my life is over.
