That is where I am going, they seem to be the only party now that 'thinks' like the old GOP did.
I am nearly 60 yrs. old, a life long Republican. I did not fall for the Perot BS of the 90's but I feel now I have no choice but to change.
I have told the fund raisers not to call me again, I am thru with the Republican party.
The way I see it, they started their downhill slide in 88 when Bush 1 was elected and I was too stupid to recognize it. My father back then told me what kind of politician Bush 1 was, seems as though he was rather wise.
I wouldn't have believed I could make the change myself but being liberated from the People's Republic of Massachusetts seems to have awakened a sense of urgency in me. Iwish you every comfort and success in your transition!

I didn't either, but I felt that way in 2004. Believe me, voting against both the factions is a liberating experience. I will never, ever vote for a Democrat, but I cannot see me voting nationally for a Republican again.
Just be careful of one thing: the cheering squad will be saying that we just need a 100-Republican Senate to do what REALLY needs to be done and that "this election [any election] is the most important of our lifetime, so hold your nose and vote against a Democrat." Those arguments are falling more and more on deaf ears, intelligent thought, and reason, but we'll still hear them, and some will still fall for them.
