I gave up on the Republican party when they acknowledged Michael Bloomberg. Puhlease!

I would say I did it even earlier with Giuliani, and all his baggage.

I quit calling myself a Republican long ago. I may VOTE that way, but I’m not one.

And if someone calls me one, I tell them I’m insulted.

When the Republicans send me a request for money, it usually starts with “Dear Fellow Conservative...” My stock answer is not great literature, but I hope it gets the point across:

I’m not just a “Fellow Conservative”; I’m an American. Patriot. Constitutionalist. If you want support from me, it’s time for YOU to show me something. No more go-along-and-get-along. I want to take our once proud Republic back from the communists and socialists. I’m doing my part. It’s time for you to do something.

Me too out of Obamanoia but I sure want another option besides the Libertarians. Solution. Do not give any money to RNC. Only your preferred candidate.

The Elite Rulers laugh at us as they play Democrat-Republican and tell each other, “Look at those Rubes lap it up, like rooters for two football teams.”

I’m in the same boat. Not even insulted if they call me a Pubbie’ but as long as they don’t call me a liberal, Obama ass-kissing hopeychangey jackass, I’m cool with it.

We must fight two battles. First in the GOP to gain a beachead then in the general for the Executive Branch. The key is the Presidency.

I no longer give to the RNC but I will continue to vote Pubie only because they
are closer to my stubborn criteria of conservative requirements than the Rats.

Oh, please. Work for the candidates that are Conservative. Give to conservative candidates, there are many of them. That’s how we’re going to move the party right. It’s not rocket science. You never hear Democrats whining like this because they know you have to have the power to get anything done. And we have to have the power..now get back to work! Just know that your experience in NY is not the norm. It’s a product of living in NY. That’s why I left 25 years ago!

Let’s take back the GOP from the left - that’s what the Tea Party is doing!

Many pro-life, conservatives are contributing to individual candidates, rather than the Republican Party.

3rd party gave us Clinton, which is why we need to be as pragmatic as the Tea Party.

I'm praying for the whole 9 yards: Presidency, Senate, and House.

We've got big work to do, but I'm going to write checks only to those I personally back. The Republican Party is not convulsing in grief over that news, since I am not in the same money class with George Soros. But if enough Americans clamp their purses closed until they see evidence of real conservatism, I think the Republican Good Old Boys Club may stroll off the links and pay attention.
