I don’t believe this is the year to make a change. The country is in too much trouble.
Please don’t drop your party membership now.
Thais is not the time.
Yes, the country is in trouble. But the gop is actually the cancer that put us in trouble. They had their chance, but used it to act like dems instead, accelerating our decline.
Now is EXACTLY the time to dump this traitorous pretense of a party. It is impossible to pull the country out of its tailspin using the very folks that sent us into that spin.
Hey, actions have consequences. The GOP had plenty of time to think this through on the front end.
I outright reject any plea to "stay with the party," although I am sure many of these pleas are made with good intentions. The party is dishonest, untrustworthy, and immoral. I do not want to be associated with it.
‘Please don’t drop your party membership now.’
How I wish I could. It would make a much needed statement. However, the GOP became too liberal for me the first time they pushed amnesty—including my two Dem-Lite senators, Chambliss & Isakson—so I dropped it then. Been an Independent ever since. Never regretted it till now. I’d like to be able to switch a second time today, just to drive home the point.
In any case, WE don't get to choose that time -- it will arrive whether we want it to or not, and it sure looks to me like that time has arrived. Referring to the 2016 presidential race, if the GOP nominates another moderate Republican, whether you or I like it or not, THAT WILL BE THE TIME to move on to a new SECOND party.
If not now, when? If not us, who?
