We lived and breathed Republican politics.
Left the party 10 years ago, but continued to contribute to candidates and vote GOP.
All history now, my FRiend. I have spent some time looking over the Constitution Party platform and instead of playing golf on November 4th I believe I might just show up and pull the lever for their candidates.
The GOP is so totally ............ bereft of principle these days.
I too got very disenchanted with the RP back in 1996. That attack on Buchanan as if he were Hitler, did it for me. I had seen that tactic used by the Democrats for decades, and was shocked to see our side do it. That was the end for me. I still voted Dole, but in 2000 I wouldn't have any part of Bush. Then I voted for him in 2004. It was a big mistake.
1996 and 2004 are the only two elections I have regretted. I will never make that mistake again. Voting to support the party is DOA these days.
I have given the Constitution party some thought. I don't know if it's worth the bother though.
As for the GOP, it's currently dead to me. I agree with your assessment completely.
