I already changed my affiliation due to the immigration fiasco. Maybe someday.....but for now call me “Independent”.

You need to get back in to support Duncan Hunter.

He wrote the border fence bill & has been fighting to defend our military and border patrol. He is consistent on the issues and the RINOS don’t like him.

So I guess that means you decided that trying to pull the Republican Party back towards its conservative roots is someone else's problem?

How do you expect for us to change the path of the Republican Party if our conservative members just quit the party when things don't go their way?

If you don't like the path that the Republican Party is taking, then it is vital that you vote in primary elections and show more conservative candidates that they have support.

Threatening to leave or leaving the party has little to no effect on the RINO party leadership. If anything it strengthens their power over the party as is saps the strength from conservatives in the party.

SO tell me why should I consider an "Independent" to be something other than someone who has decided it is someone else's problem to fix things. Why is it different than someone who complains about things but can't be bothered to actually go and vote?

What do you think of Tancredo or Hunter?
