After reading the response, I either have converted someone to my thinking, or there are other people out there who think along the same lines that I do. My disillusion has come to pass in the past year with the GOP when here they have the administrative branch, the legislative branch, and do nothing with it. They might as well be the British Royal Family. Just a show for the masses.

The problem is that now George W. Bush has his second term (after going up against empty suit Kerry and suit filing Edwards) it's back to the business of playing it safe. And I don't mean bring up Social Security Reform by flying around the country to convince people it's a needed idea. Personally I am amazed that he defeated Kerry by such large margins back in November. He and other GOP members (except for a small minority) have been doing the same old play it safe, get along, be nice, we're winning, country club Rockefeller Republican mindset. Meanwhile the earth they walk on is continuously eroded around them as their more aggressive and determined DNC opponents are able to checkmate them with ease. Look at Tom DeLay, for example. How long did it take GWB to come to assist him? I hope his assistance is not of the type that he provided for Terri Schiavo.

As for Michael "Savage" Weiner, the childhood stories are somewhat interesting, but it goes to my premise is that it's a show for him at the end of they day. When I first began listening to him back in October of 1998 (locally here in the Bay Area), I thought that I was first listening to Charles Schumer. But this guy was the anti-Charles Schumer. Everything he said was directly opposite of what the Democratic Senator would say and think.

But as time has gone on and he is now national, the vanity has only been able to fuel itself to consume everything in it's path. The beginning of the end came when he was kicked off MSNBC for his comments. It's not so much how he insulted the caller that got me, it's not owing up to it and pretending to be a, "Only a more Savage Nation can survive," person.

Even Howard Stern complains when he says the same thing that Oprah says he gets nailed for it and she does not, that's owing up to what you say. And if Stern can do even that much, then someone like Mikey could do the same. But because, "It's just one man's opinion," one cannot deviate from that world view. If he was a little smarter, he could have played the Howard Stern Martyr part and came out even better, instead of a limp-wristed sissy excuse.

As for the Governor Schwarzenegger situation, it was the final straw. The GOP decided to play it safe (again) rather than send real people to the job. It's not that one person makes the GOP. The GOP has so compromised itself with capitulation that, at this rate, I might as well vote Democrat. When you pump the GOP with Rockefeller types (RepubliCANTS to me), you get where we are now. What did GWB do during the election? Did he put his energy behind the sunsetting of the Assault Weapons Ban? Nope. Did he say that he was going to bomb all of Iraq to stop the insurgency? Nope. Is he calling the Minuteman a grassroots activist group calling attention to a large problem? What's that spell? No! Three times the charm!

I may have left the GOP but at least I know where I stand now. But I look on the bright side in that with all the illegal aliens that have entered this nation (from Mexico and everywhere else) is that they will now be able to vote Republican! They can replace people such as myself who have left! AH HA HA! I might as well as get a good laugh at the thinking of the RepubliCANT party has done to itself, as it figures out how to dig the hole it's in deeper. AH HA HA!
