Have you ever heard the story of Gideon?
It is best to leave. The GOP has spent the last decade deceiving religious conservatives.
I am also now independent, and in looking at parties, I'm struck by the Godly positions of the Constitution Party, and by the fact that it's guided by everyday people.
Sometimes, less is better IF it is the heart of quality.
Easy-Read Version
Long after the battle of Jericho, the Israelites decided to disobey God again. They hid out in the hills, fearing a people called the Midianites.
One day, a man named Gideon heard an angel say, “God is with you, mighty warrior!”
“God is with me?” asked Gideon in surprise. “Then why are we having such troubles?”
“You shall save Israel,” said the angel. “For God has chosen you to lead your people.”
“Me?” cried Gideon. “But who will listen to me? I am no one! I am the least of the least.”
“God will go with you,” said the angel.
Thousands of men came to help Gideon. But God said, “That’s too many. Send hack any who are afraid.” So Gideon let 22,000 men leave. Now 10,000 remained.
“You still have too many,” said God, and He showed Gideon whom to send home.
Now only 300 men remained! God told Gideon’s army to surround the Midianite camp.
When Gideon gave the signal, they smashed jars, waved torches, yelled loudly, and blew their trumpets. The startled Midianites grabbed their swords and fought against themselves. Then they ran! God used Gideon’s tiny army to win the battle!
See Judges 6-7, Bible Version
Sorry to sound like a pessimist. As far as the current situation w/Obama, I believe it IS God's doing as a form of judgment on us as a national people, just like He did with Israel and other nations in times of old.
The fact that you would support an anti American, pro surrender party like the CP tells the rest of us all there is to know about you. Go ahead and join them. Your support won’t matter. They will never achieve power in this country. By leaving the Republican Party, you will only be disenfranchising yourself.
