There are a lot of good people in the GOP, particularly at the state and local level. What happens is that the GOP was flooded with opportunists Dems after the 94 election. Our governor Rick Perry being a prime example. He's got an R by his name but he is really a D.

I almost gave up on the Republicans after they left Newt out to dry over BS ethics charges. That little episode did open my eyes to what scum the GOP leadership really is. Finally, the GOP had a leader that would lead and fight for our Republic and the GOP dumped him.

My feeling is that we need to teach the GOP another lesson, like the one administered in 88, yea we got Bill Clinton as a result but we also got control of congress resulting in gridlock. Gridlock is far better then a socialist GOP, which is what we have now. So I will watch and wait and then make up my mind. Everything is on the table as far as I am concerned, even voting Dem at the top in hopes of grid lock.

Oh please. That is nonsense. Perry switched in the 1980s, was and is a conservative, helped balance the Texas budget without a tax increase, helped pass prop 12 (lawsuit reform), got 3 pro-life bills passed in 2003 and helped on redistricting. He's pro-death-penalty, supports Texas values, and is more conservative than the other powers that be. JMHO.

Also wrong... the ethics charges was a scam the Democrats ran ... Republicans didnt give up on Newt, Newt resigned after having a bad election cycle in 1998 that almost cost the GOP the House.

Wrong a third time. leaving the GOP teaches the GOP the "lesson" that you are NOT a reliable voter and NOT worth trying to pander to ... so they go pander to moderates and libs.

If you want Conservatives in power, vote for the most conservative alternative. Vote for conservatives in primaries and vote for republicans in general elections.
Be active and stand your ground. And dont waste your time, energy, and talent in dead ends - like 3rd parties or FR debates with Buchananite/Losertarian/DU/3rd-party trolls!!
