The party is rotten within and is enabling decades of decline and possibly a major societal meltdown. This party hasn’t had the courage to stop the madness for many years, look at the record. We have passed the fiscal tipping point anyway.

Register independent. Your occasional primary victories in states with closed primaries aren’t helping either, don’t let those stop you.

Do this one tiny protest. You can still vote for any Republican you find worthy of your support in general elections.

The old ways are gone. You must scare the party by defecting until it changes direction.

Besides, you’ll really help screw the polling up.

Agree, yet remaining registered pub, at least in my state, allows me to vote in the primary for the T.E.A. party candidate to succeed over the entrenched GOPe incumbant. You can only vote for your registered party's nominees here. No cross dressing in these parts, stranger.

We now have Mike Lee (check his record) and Jason Chaffetz (check his record) and though time is short, in my state, indy doesn't seem as likely to buy so much. In states more bluish, you're likely correct.

Hell, even our only democrat, Matheson, (sadly, my rep) voted against this latest abortion.

I'm giving this some thought, we have the same system here, yet I am thinking of going Ind., just for the scare factor, then change back just in time for the elections.
