I have emailed Mr. Duncan, RNC chair, and told him to remove my name from all GOP mailing lists.

Next week I plan to reregister as an independent.

With Mr. McCain and most of the other House and Senate Pubbies talking about more bipartisanship I cannot abide the Republican Party any longer.

I will be interested in how they treat Gov. Palin. She is definitely not a Belt-Way insider. Perhaps a truly conservative party could be built around her.

I was a fool. With no true conservative among the Pubbie presidential contenders I had planned to vote conservative, independent or write my name in. Then Mr. McCain chose Gov. Palin. I saw her as fairly conservative person with traditional American values. So, I convinced myself to give it one more try. I actually thought McCain had managed to avoid the taint of the Wall Street and lending institution mess. I actually thought he managed to separate himself from the messy Bush administration.

Well, shame on me. Buy my eyes are wide open now. To those conservatives who warned me McCain was a dead end I applaud your sticking to your guns—even in the face of pretty nasty posts from some FREEPERS. I was wrong. You were right.

This election is over. What did it mean? I think in the end it came down to two things: First, was the the economy issue. Bush was president for 8 years. His final six months in office were a figurative and literal disaster. Bush is a pubbie and so is McCain. No way McCain—or any pubbie candidate—is gonna shake free of that mess. Second, 30-40 years or leftist demrat control of public education came to fruition. If it is true that young people voted in record numbers this year the demrats were the beneficiaries of that vote.

If whatever political entity emerges from this GOP debacle has no answer to the dem’s control of public education, there will be no return to the values that made America great. We are doomed to enjoy all the thrills and chills of your typical communist government. Get used to gray people.

I’m retired so I have free time that I can devote to working toward finding a means for the conservative voice to be heard. It is not likely this task will be accomplished in one or even dozens of election cycles. The left has been very patient with its game plan. Now it is our turn to return the favor.
