I'll go with that.
Even though I switched registration from Independent to Republican in 2000.
AMEN! I've been a FReeper since '98, met JimRob, etc. Although I _DETEST_ RATs, and usually agree with Repub positions, affiliating with ANY party means selling out. Political parties need to be kept honest. Various Repub politicians go brain dead quite often.
The #1 goal is what JimRob has stated - to defeat liberalism. Unfortunately, liberalism also exists within the Republican party.
INDEPENDENCE!!!!! (from a registered Repub)
Now we are talking some sense.
