This letter is legitimate. I know because I helped him write it. When he asked me for help I was absolutely floored. I didn't think this day would come.
Republican National Committee 310 First Street, SE Washington, DC 20003
Dear RNC:
From the day I was eligible to register to vote I have been registered as a Republican. I have voted for Republican candidates willingly and sometimes with great pride. I reluctantly cast a vote for George Bush in 2000 despite his campaigns abominable behavior toward Sen. McCain in South Carolina. I did not repeat that mistake in 2004 yet I maintained my Republican registration due to municipal and state political activity. I can no longer do so in good conscience.
The neo-conservative agenda has made a mockery of the traditional conservative values with which I identify. A party that runs up monstrous deficits to fund an illegal war justified by deception cannot claim to represent fiscal responsibility or integrity. A party that pays overt homage to the symbol of the United States by opposing flag burning but advocates policies that rape, pillage and plunder the soil over which that flag flies cannot claim to represent environmental issues. A party that attempts to legislate sexuality, sacraments and personal medical decisions cannot claim to represent small government. A party that oppresses the poor and the weak cannot claim to represent compassionate conservatism.
I am no longer proud to be associated with a party of sore winners. Congratulations on achieving a majority in the judiciary, the legislature and the executive branches of government, but it is unfortunate for the U.S. Constitution and the people to whom you owe your power. The Republican Party is obviously not content with what it has achieved, but is bent on eradicating any semblance of a two/multi-party system in the United States. I am beyond humiliated that the party with whom I have been associated for twenty years has become a caricature of dictatorial theocratic ideologues. In your effort to instill a false sense of security among the populace against foreign threats you have managed to render us anxious about domestic tyranny.
Given the rather glaring irregularities in the 2004 presidential race as well as other state races, the illegal invasion of Iraq, the preoccupation with religious hegemony, the absurd circus surrounding the notion of eliminating the judicial filibuster, the disrespect shown to women, minorities and foreign governments I can no longer affiliate myself with the Republican Party. Today I do something I should have done six years ago. I am going to the Superintendent of Elections and changing my voter registration to the Democratic Party.
Regards,
This clown is a "lifelong republican" like I'm a space alien from Rigel 4
Dead giveaway when you have to state you're a life-long Republican or Conservative.
LOL.....stop that! *~*
"I'm a space alien from Rigel 4"
I KNEW IT!
:0)
Oh no ... my secrets out ... BUT I do have a "little green man" card
Just don't let any illegals get a hold of it, or you may miss your 'flight' back home!
:0)
Yeah, right, like this guy is really conservative. I've heard more leftists try to pull this gag - too bad they always end up blowing their cover.

While I respect your opinion, I have a real problem with the whole "nose vs. face" thing. Good Luck.
But it isn't my whole face. Consider, of the Magnesiate Seven, only three are up for reelection in 2006.
Olympia Snowe, Maine....... Lincoln Chafee, Rhode Island........ Mike DeWinne, ohio
Even if we lose all three to Democrat election, we will have not have lost much. We would only lose Democrats who run as Republicans because they cannot get elected as Democrats. It would serve notice that political decisions have consequences. Especially with a large contingent of: REPUBLICANS FOR (insert name of opponent). If that works out.......
In 2008 we could have a go at:
Susan Collins, Maine....... Linsey Graham, South Carolina......... John Warner, Virginia
John Mcslime, oops! McCain is safe? (like nitroglycerin is safe) until 2010.
This is very dooable, and as you can see can be done in bite size chunks.
Already thinking about how much better the Summer weather is in the Northeast Vs. South Texas.
Looks like he's afraid to post now.
Yup. Better keep an eye on this one
Good idea. I'll keep an eye peeled.
Don't knock apples and harb-boiled eggs till you try them!
LOL!
So sorry I'm so late gettin' here and so late pingin' this.Bye, TimmySnipples.
"He's dead, Jim!"
Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my Viking Kitty/ZOT ping list!. . .don't be shy.
