I finally got disgusted with the “R” party and became an “I” right after McCain was nominated. I didn’t want to be associated with a party that would actually put such a liberal loser up as their nominee. Haven’t seen any reason or point to go back yet. The primaries are no reason at all, since the Repug nominee is already a done deal by the time the primary process gets around to my pathetic state. It’s really all about which party (if any) I want to be seen as being associated with. Repugs are going to have to get a lot more consistently conservative, grow a backbone & toss out more CINOs before I ever go back.
The I’s and D’s played a major role in the McCain nomination as they will in future nominations. That’s the way it has been rigged.
I’m officially a republican, but that’s only because it’s the lesser of two evils.
In a way, I do think that the republicans are worse than the democrats. They’re supposed to know better! The vast majority of them are spineless. The beltway republicans are the worst.
