Well that of course is Jim's decision to make, as it is for all individuals. I can only speak for myself, but I am sure others feel the same; I don't post these views with the hope of influencing others. It is a deeply personal and difficult decision to make.

And having made the decision, I find no solace except for the fact that for the first time in many years I will be acting on my belief that the Founding Fathers when they wrote, "That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."

Should the GOP foist a Democrat lite upon the stage, I find no other alternative. We are caught in the middle of two political parties competing to see which one can out purchase "votes" from the other.

Should Fred Thompson (or Duncan Hunter) not be the GOP's nominee, I have decided to "revolt" with the only real weapon I have - my vote.

It shall no longer be cast for "the lesser of two evils".

"God Bless America!"

Thanks for the ping Imp.

I now have a ping list of individuals whose principles outweigh expediency. It almost feels like sitting among the signers of The “Declaration of Independence.”

Hmmmmm, maybe we should work together and come up with our own declaration of independence from the republican party. Just in case?
