I am embarrassed to be associated with them as "republicans" anyway.
You're a moderate at best anyway, so why don't you join the Dems rather than be embarrassed by the true conservatives in the party. You don't help the Pub party; you are part of the problem.
"why don't you join the Dems"
Why don't YOU leave and form the Buchanan party!! The majority of reasonable compassionate conservatives will be fair and reasonable.
