I am and NEVER was a registered Pubbie’ and proud of it.
What i say to liberals is...I;m not a republican but I would rather kill myself than vote Democrat.
Myopic. More than 600 republicans were elected to state legislatures in 2010, and you want to abandon them? Leave me out. I’ll be supporting conservative republicans in my state. There’s more to the political world than just Washington.
I have already done it by registering as a Conservative. I am praying that Conservatives and Tea Party Conservatives will join Sarah Palin, Rand Paul, Ted Cruz and a large majority of the American people to oppose a pointless military charade in the Middle East. Let use the opportunity to weaken the DC establishment.
I cannot speak for those in other states, but if you want a different direction for the GOP then not being registered makes no sense.
If I were to be a registered Independent, I could NOT vote in the primary and IMO gutting the party via the primary is the most viable method we have.
Creating a 3rd party would AT BEST involve MANY, MANY, future lost elections.
We need to do what the communists did to the democrat party.
IMO, we must assimilate the party with Tea Party types and that can only be done in my state if I remain a registered Republican.
The Republican Party’s only principle is to have no principles. Its only strategy is preemptive surrender. Its only plan for victory is to tick off its base as much as possible.
The GOP long ago ceased to be a useful instrument for the advancement of conservatism.
The idea of the two-party is that the parties promote meaningful alternative policies. The Republicans are scared that someone might say something bad about them if they do that. They’re scared of their shadows.
The Republican Party was founded in the 1850s to replace the Whigs because the Whigs would NOT take a stand on the key issues of the day. Well, they did such a good job of replacing the Whigs that they have become the Whigs.
We’re told that a third party will guarantee permanent Democrat victories. Well, I imagine the Whigs making the same argument — look how that worked out.
the time was 2007...i waited until 2010...
the closest thing out there a conservative can link himself to is libertarian...
with the exception of 2 items on their plank, i am on board...
i would rather work with people who say what they mean and mean what they say, then people who will lie right to your face..
i will work with the libertairans to change their platform..
It only makes sense in open primary states, where you can still try to vote RINOs out of the GOP. Otherwise, I think they’ll be quite happy to see us leave.
Been indy since Mr No New Taxes screwed the pooch back in the day. Did register to vote as GOP to vote against McLame for one day in the 2000 primary.
Ah yes, another semi-monthly temper tantrum by the same usual suspects. (puff-puff-Patooy)
