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.

nice spell-check job..now run back to the DU and do your best McCain snicker...
Thank you for switching parties. You apparently weren't a real Republican anyway.
(Notice I made a value judgment. Some Democrat's probably going to call my teacher and report me.)
You have the blood of starving Mods on your hands!
Good bye and good riddance. Don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out....
Who is "him"? Not that it really matters.
The screen name, combined with This letter is legitimate. was all I needed to see.
John McCain?!
Excellent reply:)
Nice!!!!
Read my lips...
...then go away.
It was fun while it lasted.
Sorry it took so long. I was on a lunch break.
Possibly less of it, Timmy-Poo... I was initially going to go and change to an independent posthaste, but I now realize that the key is getting rid of the stealth 'rats at the primary level. All the better to micturate on people like you, John McCain, and that wart named Lindsey Graham (which McCain ought to have removed from his butt next time he sees a dermatologist).
Ha!! Most excellent.

Oh goody, which Mod is it?!
It's lunch time and I'm enjoying a lucious juicy chili dog, and delicious curly fries. But I understand that your wonderful dedication would cause you to starve yourself if it would attrack a better class of trolls.
Semper Fi! Keep the faith!:)
Small dogs always need help writing letters ... now go away.
