No worries, were the 33% the gop wants to get rid of anyway!
Exactly.
Jeb was recently asking McCain for advice on how to win the nomination without them.
Apparently, Jeb failed to realize that McCain did win the nomination but lost the general election.

If they re-elect Boehner, and Cruz and Palin joined the Liberty Party the next day, I believe fully half the country (at least the voting ones) would go with them.

I don’t think I ever made a definitive stand, per se, about leaving the Party. I just gradually stopped voting for most of the GOP candidates on my ballot. Left things blank.
I’ve exclusively voted GOP my entire voting life. Never once voted for a Dem or an independent. I thought the Republicans used to share the same beliefs and values I did. This notion has been obliterated to pieces for me in just the past few years. First, it was Bush pushing amnesty. Then, it was the backstabbing treatment given Palin. Nowadays, I see the GOP funding things like Obamacare and Obama’s lawless amnesty, and completely running away from family values by letting the homo-fascists run wild trampling on our liberties. I no longer see a single, solitary reason to vote Republican anymore. They spit on me and my values just as much as the Dems.

What we need to do is lobby our state legislatures to all[ow] electoral fusion (where a candidate can be nominated by more than 1 political party).Yes, absolutely

One third of one half is one sixth. The vote would break
- one sixth third party
- two sixth’s Republican.
- three sixth’s Democrat.
Hope you like President Warren.

In turns out that most of the GOP congress critters are much more worried about what Boehner is going to do to them- than they are worried about what voters are going to do to them.

I am with you. I voted against every republican candidate that I could. I am tired of voting blanket ticket for losers who do not support my core beliefs.
I also encourage all of my ‘voting’ friends to make sound voting decisions.
My congress critter is Jody Hice and I have already told him how I stand.
I stood up against Dr. Paul Broun and I will stand up against Jody as well. (I even made cnn)

A better approach would be to have the GOP push primaries to the end of the cycle for states that didn't support the GOP nominee in the previous presidential election. Better yet, schedule the primaries in order of the GOP's share of the popular vote by state from the last election.
I mean, does anyone really give a sh!t who the voters of Massachusetts prefer to be the Republican nominee in a presidential election?
To: Jim Robinson
I've been a Republican ever since one of my classmates in 3rd grade stopped me on the playground and asked me, "Are you a Republican or a Democrat?". I didn't know the difference but I answered "a Republican" because I knew my parents liked Ike and they used the word "Republican" in the same sentence!
But this isn't even moderate old Ike's Party any more. Nelson Rockerfeller and Jacob Javits? Yep. They'd recognize it for sure! But Ike might even disown it.
If they elect that drunken clown Boner again, it likely will be because (to paraphrase a Proverb) without a vision the Party will perish, and sure as hell if they elect him they are as bad as he is and they don't have any themselves. They won't have any base, either.
Then maybe after 62 years it will be time for a change?

Actually - I will vote for Warren if the gop gives us Jeb or Romney or Christy or any of those other lib-lights. I’d rather vote for a full-fat, real-sugar liberal than a mealy-mouthed weasel that tries to make me thinks he’s not what he is.

Unless Alexander Hamilton was an idiot, I’ll stick with ‘Better an enemy in their own camp than yours’. But some here are obviously smarter than the founders.

Not so much a thread ... I just can't figure out how easily to re-register (from Republican to ‘Independent’, or just non-Republican). Once I stumble across the right form - I will.

If Boehner cared about the future of the Republican Party, he would respect that he’s a divisive figure that will destroy the party and resign as Speaker.

schedule the primaries in order of the GOP's share of the popular vote by state I like that idea. Places like Alaska, Idaho, Kansas and Mississippi would likely lead off the season.

We got to dump Bonehead, and then we have to stick with the Republicans or a third party will guarantee the communists Democrats will win. That card is played out. Nobody's buying the BS no' mo'.
I will (wearily) remind you that you are shilling for the communist Republicans, in order that the communist Democrats do not win.

Hope you like President Warren.
If there is a "President Warren", the blame falls solely and squarely on the heads of those who advocated voting for the lesser of two evils. It is they, and their complete inability to comprehend the larger picture, who have allowed the Republican party to be fully co-opted by the allies of the left.
