Nevertheless, I held my nose and voted for McLame in 2008, but I'm not a Republican. I know a lot of people in the same boat.
You can rest assure the Republicans had nothing to do with the tea parties. If they did, then the Republicans would not be worried about them.
The tea parties are conservatives, objective independents and objective democrats that are tired of seeing the Republican party cave to the democrats all the time.
Can you believe the Republican party had the audacity to ask me how I think they should vote on various issues? For instance, the questions were about the environment, and TAX issues. Unbelievable!
As the LP got just over half a million votes in 2008 and Ron Paul himself gets a fraction of the GOP vote, most of the military must be Ron Paul supporters then.
