I am not leaving. I am not a spoiled little kid who is going to take my ball and go home because I did not get my way.
In 2006, I moved between states, and registered as an Independent. I was a registered Republican.
I was an early leaver.
I will stay at least through the generals in November. How that vote goes may determine whether conservatives will have a voice in the GOP’s future.
I left some time ago.
If third political parties and Independent political runs for the Presidency really did have any serious political clout at the Presidential level, then NOW IS THE TIME TO HAVE IT! Apparently reality proves again that this is truly not the case.
I left over 8 years ago when they nominated that liberal gun-grabbing La Raza yankee from Kennebunkport.
21,743.
I’m pretty much gone too. I may still vote for some Rs locally but I won’t vote for McCain.
In the primary, I’m crossing over and voting Obama.
First things first. 1. Ditch the Bitch. 2. See ya later, traitor.
Four years of Obama will be better for conservatives than four years of McCain or the Clintons.
I am searching for a conservative politician to run in this election and hope that there may be one left outside the GOP, which is now run by the NORTHEAST LIBERALS.
Like always, I'll send money to the most conservative guys I can find who can get elected down ticket.
They Kicked Me Out!
How many crybabies will cede control of the GOP to the liberals ("moderates") and run away, perhaps to a "third-party" sucker bet? I dunno - - what do you think?
This is a pretty lame vanity, BTW.
It is time for conservatives to GET ENERGIZED.
No, not for McInsane.
For the local conservatives and members of the House and Senate. They're going to need all the help they can get!
Cheers!
Not me. I do not care for McCain as the nominee, but in the end it will come down to two people and I intend to vote for the better of the two.
There’s a possibility that McCain may not appoint conservative judges. There is no possibility that Obama or Hillary will.
I just printed a State of New Jersey Political Party Affiliation Declaration Form.
As there was no “Freeper” box to check, I will declare my “Unaffiliation” with any party.
The Republican Party has said, by word and deed, that they no longer want Conservatives in their party.
whatever happens, I've decided pretty much to vote McCain.....even though he hates me.....I will donate to Pub candidates and put their sign on my yard....
its tough fighting the evil RAts....but somebody's got to do it...
I haven't posted here in a good long while, so I guess I'm due for a good long post. I've got alot to get off my chest lately.
I left in 1991 after "read my lips, no new taxes" became yet another Republican broken promise.
I'm as fiscal of a Conservative as one can be, and as socially Conservative as one can be as well. Staunch Pro-Second amendment, anti-abortion, I want smaller, less intrusive government and tax cuts and more tax cuts.
I believe the War on Terror must be won, and that the War on Terror includes protecting and defending our borders from illegal immigration. It also means that we as American's don't surrender our freedoms for a little safety. Ben Franklin had it exactly right: Those who would surrender precious liberty in exchange for a bit of temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety
I think our Government spends way too much, does too many things that it shouldn't do (Dept. of Education for example, Welfare, and all it's re-distribution of wealth schemes such as Social Security) and infringes on each of our rights daily.
I believe these are good, solid Conservative positions that the Republican Party has long since forgotten about in its desperate attempt to be a "big tent" party.
I used to believe that this country could change via the ballot box, but I've given up hope there. There's frankly a growing number of (stupid) people who can't do for themselves, and insist on the government providing for them. You wonder why this country is sliding towards socialism on a daily basis? Look no further than both the Democrats and Republicans for the reason why.
I no longer believe that peaceful change can happen via the ballot box in this country. I think the founding fathers are probably spinning in their graves at what a bunch of apathetic, sorry-assed American's have let this country become. I personally think this country is long past a good old fashioned revolution, complete with tar, feathers and rope on the steps of the Capitol. The scumballs in Washington DC (and I mean BOTH parties here..) have long forgotten that they work for us. I believe they need a reminder.
Ben Franklin warned us when he said "Here's your Republic, now see if you can keep it." Franklin warned us to be weary of a government that would take away our rights and freedoms (and MONEY, btw.) The same government that has the power to GIVE you something, has the power to take it away first. (Stimulus package, anyone??) So many people have forgotten these important lessons. As for me, I'll never vote for a Democrat. To me, they represent everything that is fundamentally wrong with America. But that doesn't mean I'm going to vote Republican, or be happy about it if/when I do. The Republican Party has become the party of Big Government. A $3.1Trillion dollar budget proves that.
If the Republican party wants this Conservative's vote this year, they're going to have to adopt and ACT UPON Conservative values and principles.
Close the borders.
Enforce our Immigration laws.
Win the War on Terror. Call Islamic Fascism what it is.
Cut Taxes, enable Business Growth.
Make the Bush Tax Cuts PERMANENT.
Stop all Technology Transfers to China, recognize them as an Enemy of the United States.
Stop all foreign aid.
Get the U.S. out of the U.N.
Kick, the U.N. out of the U.S.
Bring our manufacturing jobs back, stop giving tax breaks to companies that export assembly lines & jobs. Incentivize them to bring jobs back home.
Appoint CONSERVATIVE judges to the Courts.
Overturn Roe v. Wade. It was a complete usurpation of States Rights, the USSC overstepped its authority.
Abolish the IRS
Declare Energy Independence. Drill ANWR and promote on-shore and off-shore drilling.
Support clean-burning Coal technologies and coal gassification.
At the same time, fully fund Alternative Energy - the new Manhattan Project.
If I were President, this would be my list Day #1. Now that Thompson, Hunter and Romney are out, there are no Conservatives in this race. The Republican party in my view has once again demonstrated it doesn't care for Conservatives vote. And once again, I feel vindicated for leaving in '91. The Republican Party cannot take my, or any other good Conservative's vote for granted any longer.
I just left the Democratic Party to join the GOP. I don’t think I’m going to jump ship again anytime soon. I can’t blame many conservatives for their disgust with the Republican Party and the liberal to moderate wing that forms the leadership of the party, but I don’t think the third party option is the right way to go. Conservatives have to take the GOP back from one state to another until the center left no longer controls the party.
Basically the GOP has wound up where the Dems were about 1964....the Dems are somewhere to the left of most Euroweenies...its time for an American Party...
I'm thinking about leaving, but I'm afraid the Libertarians would not have me! :)
