That realization hit me by the end of February in W's second term.
Took me a bit longer.
I think it was when we got the House Majority and NOTHING HAPPENED. Then we got the Senate Majority and NOTHING HAPPENED!
“Vote for us and we will stop Obamacare! We will balance the budget! Blah blah.” NOTHING.
I am done. Ready for a 3rd party based on sovereignty and nationalism, as well as smaller government.
I will register as an independent after the election.
