You know we could engage in a discussion if you would read what I stated and not puts words in my mouth.

Did I say the GOP was dead?

Did I say they were commies in sheep's clothing?

And I definitely stated I didn't support the Third Party Way. In fact had you been around the forum a bit longer, or bothered to research my views on Pat Buchanan, you might find out that I was one of Pat's greatest detractors.

Did I in any way suggest that you should take any course of action other than supporting a political party of your choice?

I simply stated that I choose not to.

What is it that you would have me do? Really now.

The GOP candidates still will get my vote, more than likely. I just don't feel compelled to any longer associate with the GOP as a member of their party.

Would it make you feel any better/happier if I was suggesting that others follow my lead? Well that is not my purpose in life. Those choices are for each individual to make.

Have I attacked you or any others that have made the choice to remain in the GOP? NO and I won't.

So exactly what is it that is putting this burr in your saddle?

Is there a chance that by having decided that you are a loyal member of the GOP that you have given up the right to be critical of the party and its candidates? Man if that is the case then you do have a huge problem.

I just can't figure out why you take such exception to my choices, and then paint me into some "Third Party Way" kook corner, simply because I have made the choice not to affiliate myself with the GOP in it's present form under it's present leadership.

I'm am not that upset by people leaving the party. I do get irked when people criticize the GOP and don't give viable suggestions as to a solution for that problem. I and others like me don't leave when we don't get our way. I understand completely that the GOP and GWB have their problems and it is upsetting.

I for one wanted school vouchers so bad I could taste it, I didn't get it and I was upset, but I didn't leave the party over it. I will criticize the party, but I will also supply solutions to the problems as I see them, such as getting control of the Senate. Understand, I believe you have every right to leave the party, and even to criticize that party, but I will defend it which is also my right. It's not a personal attack, don't take it as such.
