If you don't like the way the GOP conducts itself, why don't you join the party and try to change it from within?

If you're just going to sit on the fence and fling poo at both sides, why should either of the major parties listen to you?

If I want smaller government, joining the GOP - or, in this case, re-joining - isn't going to accomplish anything.
I wouldn't be welcome there anyway; local Republicans know how long I've been involved in my party, and would view me as some sort of "mole".

Besides, it's fun to fling poo at both sides. Bear in mind, however, that Democrats get MUCH more poo-flinging from me.

If I want to live in a socialist state now, I'll vote for Dems. If I want to live in a socialist state later, I'd vote Republican. Since I want neither outcome, I'm staying put.

Does the GOP accept members who diverge from status quo?

That's exactly the tactic his supporters are now claiming John Kerry was applying when he joined the anti-war movement to "moderate it".
