I wrote off the GOP back in 1996.
What’s a Republican? Haven’t seen one of those in a while.
Too late. I dropped the GOP in 2005. They aren’t the parasites the Democrats are, but their fiscal irresponsibility is inexcusable.
Guess I’m gonna have to jump ship.
I’ll wait to hear from Jim and Dr. Wheeler before making my choice.
I’m not thinking straight right noow and am looking for a corkscrew to open this wine I was saving for Friday.
No, because MY GOP represenatives voted NO! Grassley, King, Latham - NO! A majority of Republicans did the same.
So why would I be a complete dumbass and switch?
Wwatching Hannity and David Webb has become a very sharp stick poking at the other side.
I’ll also want to hear from The Great One as well.
No decision til Tuesday the 8th.
I'm reserving judgment on today's vote until I hear from my representative, who knows more about the dirtywork behind it than I do. But I have to say it looks an awful lot like the Republicans simply didn't practice good practical politics, which means getting something in return for a compromise, and no, I don't regard class warfare of any kind as an acceptable compromise. If they can't stand up to the Democrat/media machine then we're going to have to find somebody who can.
I thoroughly respect all the folks here who are dropping out of the R party.
I would respectfully submit that it could be wiser to stay in and try to fix it from inside. If only because third parties have worked only a couple times in over 200 years of American history....
Again, I do understand and would not presume to lecture anybody or claim I’m right about this.
Just a thought...
Happy New Year (!)

Absolutely not, they’re ll crooks!
Switched tonight. Bye-bye R’s. The Republican Machine has nothing but contempt for me, and I have nothing but contempt for it.
To win, you have to have more than half the votes.
On the way to half the votes +1, you have to get to half of half the votes.
If you can’t control one party, you have no chance to control the government.
If you don’t like having 25% of the people in office representing you, I imagine you will dislike having less than 25% even more.
I have reached that point now.
Sorry, but I longer feel the obligation, or the guilt! I have NO political power as of this moment, but to tell the party who has taken me for granted, sh*t on me, and ignored me, that I've had enough, and no longer want to be part of them.
To those who say we need to stick with the GOP, I ask why? Take a look and see what our sticking by the GOPe has gotten us? Nothing!!
I am seriously thinking of changing to Democrat in order to vote in their primaries. That way I will be able to possibly influence their candidate choices. Can still vote for who I want in the general election.
Secede.
What took you so long?? The rest of us saw the GOP-e for the gutless RINO cowards that they are and jumped ship long ago.
We can make space for you in the lifeboat.
What, going to become a democrat?
no
I don’t care about politics anymore. Bronco won. Fuck Him
Boehner you got nothing. I don’t even give a damn who replaces you. Might as well be that code pink bitch.
