I've done the same, after giving them an ear full. The Republican party, RNC, and NRSC used to get donations regularly. They ignore conservatives that have a chance of winning. They support RINOS over conservatives in primaries. They proudly gave us John McCain, and don't forget "it's my turn" Dole in 1996. The ones that get elected seem to be the ones that want to be liked by the press and vote with democrats to "get things done for the good of the people". I've had all that I can stomach of it. Our party of Reagan is now a party I don't recognize. They can either get it together, or become a permanent minority. It's their loss, and ours.
I am far from being a newbie, but if I were I would still have the right to question your screen name. Why are you so upset about the question? There was no disrespect in it.
Is there anything that GW did that you approve of? Was all the spending bad? I don’t like the amnesty thing either, not even when Reagan passed it. Vilifying “all” Republicans because of the actions of a few is silly.
Political parties are like any other relationship...they don’t always go the way we like. That is why we must be active in steering the Party in the conservative direction. The Founding Fathers never intended us to have an “autopilot” attitude.
“I think that it makes more sense tactically to attempt to reassert conservative dominance over the GOP.”
And how did that work out for you? Give it up man! It aint gonna work! Ronald Reagan did it, but couldn’t make it stick. Sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and make a clean break.
