I finally had enough! We've finally gotten to a one party system in Washington as the republicans have completely lost any relevance. If you stand for nothing you stand for everything.
Here's my email to the RNC...
'Please remove me from all RNC mailings. The Republican party has become indistinguishable from the Dems and insider backscratching seems to be the name of the game rather than standing on conservative principles. I will be ending my party affiliation on my next trip to the county courthouse."
I could not agree with you more. I’ve had it too.
There are only two parties any more in America: The Ruling Class and the people.
I reached that point months ago....Now I laugh at their demise.
We need to rethink who our representatives should be. I’m for considering instead of the current 435 paid (and corrupt), a change to representation from each county/parish in the land. Let each be compensated by the locals and judged accordingly.
This would give us approximately 3,000 CITIZEN Representatives, instead of the 435 lobbied and self-centered politicians who only look out for themselves and the moneyed elite.
We can rebuild, with a new party, but since we need to start from scratch, it will take more than 3 years to get anywhere at all.
bttt
Agreed.
Changed my registration this morning to the IDGAFAM
party
I agree. I am done. I am walking away from the GOP and not looking back. I will keep an eye on Cruz, but that’s about it.
NOW is the time for Sarah Palin to ramp up her efforts in building the 'Freedom Party'.
I’ve posted this a number of times and do so again inasmuch as THIS is a constantly recurring problem and some may not grasp how widespread it is.
If you want to know why I’ve cautioned my many friends to NOT SEND THE RNC A NICKLE, READ ON.
Over the years – when, to steal a line from Billy Joel, I wore a younger man’s clothes – I was involved with several pretty solid conservative candidates for Congress. One was a Democrat (Lawrence Patton McDonald) – because that was the only way he could win in that district. Those old-timers who know Larry’s record will tell you that he was a solid an anti-communist America Firster and more Republican than the Pubbies in nearby districts at the time. (His mother’s cousin was General George Patton from whom he got the middle name – and his incredible resolve and love of this country.) How ironic that he, like General Patton, was also assassinated by the communists they both despised.
Those other candidates ran as Republicans. Because I was a rabid Bircher back then (still am philosophically!), those candidates had to pass my rigid litmus test or I went looking for someone who did. For that reason, I hooked up with what the TRADITIONAL country club Pubbie establishment types believed were too radical for their refined tastes.
As those campaigns began to unfold and it became clear to the country clubbers that these guys 1) had a shot and 2) were pretty independent thinkers who would be hard to keep on the reservation once they got sworn in, the local Pubbies communicated that information to the Republican National HQ types who rather quickly sent in campaign “professionals” ostensibly to lock up the impending victory.
Instead, in nearly every case to which I was privy, these “professionals” proceeded to TORPEDO our guy’s campaign in subtle but effective ways.
From that experience I can tell you that the Pubbies at the HQ in D.C. would rather have a Democrat win a given district than have a pubbie up there who would embarrass them by refusing to follow the party line.
If YOU become involved in campaigns for solidly conservative, America and Constitution loving, hard-nosed, independent thinking candidates in 2012 and beyond – and I pray many of you do — please DO NOT trust any of those folks from GOP HQ in Washington. If they want to send you no-strings cash for your campaign, take it. If, however, they “suggest” sending in one of their “professionals,” tell them to fuggetaboutit.
They ARE WHO GOT US INTO THIS MESS AND THEY ARE NOT YOUR FRIENDS!!!!
“The common and continual mischief of the spirit of Party is
sufficient to make it the interest and duty of a wise people to
discourage and restrain it.” G. Washington
(BTW, My genealogical research informs me that my 5th great-grandfather, one John Carpenter, was one of George Washington’s Virginia neighbors and fought with GW in the French and Indian War and the Revolution. Prior to that, John travelled with GW during his survey of the Northwest Territories.)
Got it. LOL!
You are exactly right. There is only one party: The Re-
Election Party. Incumbency is the root cause of all corruption in the system.
Welcome to the party, pal.
Tagline...
See my tagline...I quit the GOPe some years back.
I’d love to see a full-blown glass roots campaign for Republican voters to change their party registrations to Independent or Unenrolled.
I’d love to see the GOPe face a well-documented and very highly publicized walk-out.
Right. So what you gonna do now? Vote only for independents? Go “Libertarian”?
What are the options?
