This morning I will be changing my party affiliation from GOP to Libertarian. I have lots of issues with the Libertarian party but they pale in comparison to the problems I now have with the GOP.
I bit my tongue and voted for Bush/Dole/Bush/McCain/Romney but no more. Libertarians are often wrong but they are consistent and much more honest about their policies than the GOP. I urge every Republican on this site and all who agree with me to abandon the GOP and join a third party in the next two weeks. Let Boehner and Graham see what their perfidy has caused.
Changed my party affiliation yesterday upon the re-election of nancy boehner. We have 2 years to organize the Tea Party, Let’s get it done! The GOP is dead.
Thanks for the invite.
I was thinking of Alaska in terms or pulling your X-Gov out of retirement for our 3rd party once Republicans fold on the debt limit.
Your cold wouldn’t work for a desert dweller
Register dem and pollute their primaries…use Alinsky tactics on them
The attacks on Gov. Palin and all support for
Obama comes from Team Romney and Team Rove.
THEY put Obama in Office and made him Tyrant.
Anyone still voting GOP after the Fiscal Cliff disaster is nothing but a liberal. GOP is not conservative Ooo
It’s time to band together and designate a national Tea Party.
We have two years to organize and demonstrate the irrelevance of the GOP.
I said something similar a month, or so, ago...
There are still many here who will call us nuts for wanting a real Conservative party... but the Repub party is no longer Conservative :/
I didn’t leave my party. My party left me.
They already do!
Would you rather the Obama minions rule you unopposed.
Ya, because there is soooooooooo much opposition now..
Where it counts the republicans do NOTHING to stop him or slow him down.
We’re about five years into that project now.
Don’t you find it ironic that some will crucify you for considering leaving the Republican Party? Never mind that with the exception of some of the membership, it really isn’t that much different from the Democratic Party.
Of course, we know that discussions along the same lines occurred during the formation of this nation. What would our plot of land be like today if enough decided that it was more beneficial to stay under King George?
We keep hearing the same worn out, tired mantras such as a third party can’t work, it will split votes, etc. Yet does the party leadership listen to the conservative voice, NO. When the party is more concerned with trouncing the conservative element, then it is with stomping on the RINOs, we have a very real problem.
I too will be changing my party affiliation here in Pennsylvania. It won’t change my principles, or my beliefs in any way. If necessary, I can change it back in order to participate in the next Presidential primary.
It may be a symbolic gesture, but then it also appears that the Republican party’s belief in the Constitution and conservative principles is also merely symbolic as well.
I have been active in the Tea Party movement since 4-15-2008.
Tea Party was not listed on my voter registration form, we need that check box on all voter registration forms.
Obama won because he is the one promising the free stuff and America has tipped to that side, sadly to never recover, I believe. The MSM again picked the GOP’s candidate for them by convincing the voters of which candidate had the best chance of winning the nomination, knowing full well that conservatives did not like the candidates they chose. The GOP advertises to be conservative, like in Boehner’s little surveys he sends out soliciting support of his congress, but actions, or inaction, speak louder than words.
The problem with the GOP is the establishment RINOs holding the party back from its purpose in congress. The GOP has power, and it uses it to further the Democrats’ agenda.
The principles and heart of the one who raises their hand to take the oath matters far more than the party label by their name.

The problem as I see it is that the establishment GOP entrenched politicians are more disruptive of the Tea Party movement than the rats. We need to distinguish ourselves and crush the remains of the GOP.
