I may not vote democrat ever, but not voting at all is a serious consideration, or maybe just voting at the local level and for my Congressman.

I was raised in a Democrat household. My 82 yr old mom still votes straight party ticket. I worked for Bobby Kennedy and voted for Jimmy Carter. But, when my eyes were opened by those 18% interest rates, I switched and campaigned hard for Ronaldus.

When Jesse Helms was challenged for the Senate by Harvey Gantt (the black mayor of Charlotte), I spent so much money that I got to sit at a table with he and Dan Quayle. I would vote for Dan. I will not vote for a RINO.

I have withdrawn my support for the national Rep. party, though I give to many with R behind their names (I live in WV and we have Sheets Byrd creeping along with Rockyfeller). I no longer list myself as a Republican. I would sign up again, if there were some true conservative patriots in power again.

I have been a straight party voter since I was old enough to vote. It's not just the issue of illegal immigration, its the attitude that those in power take with those of us who want the border closed to illegal entry. Its the same attitude every liberal I have ever debated with has used. They may as well call us nazi's or at least xenophobes. These are some of our elected leaders who act this way and definitely some of the conservative talking heads in Washington.
