Why would you assume nobody crosses over? (Help us, we've been zotted!)

Sme Republicans may be fiddling while Rome burns, but the democrats are gleefully pouring gasoline on the fire.

So go ahead and pull that "eject" handle ... good luck in your future voting selections, Counselor. Just don't let the door hit you where the Good Lord split you.

I vote ZOT!

I second it.

There are definitely problems in the Repub party, but....So the answer is.....cross over to the Dems? Good grief. And crossing anywhere else is still crossing to the dems. Giving up and staying home is crossing to the dems.

As a former conservative independent, I have been forced into the Repub party in self defense. The answer to me is more and more Repubs, then get rid of the loose screws like Collins, Graham, that screwball from RI, etc. To do otherwise is to let hillary and the MSM win. And there is nowhere on the planet to retreat to.

This is our country's last stand. I am 70 and I fear for my grandchildren in a brave retro world of the pseudo 60's run by Shrillary, Chuckie, and Paul Begala---Oh, the horror!!!

Seminar letter writer. He may have been voting Republican, but he certainly wasn't conservative.

For starters, this Op-Ed provides evidence that one may be a lawyer and yet a moron. It's fairly clear that the main impetus for this gentleman to "leave the Republican Party" is that he shares the Neville Chamberlain view of the world. He has apparently bought the Democrat garbage that we should negotiate with murderous dictators, rather than recognize reality and oppose them.

This geopolitical fool never says that he has joined the Democrat Party. And given the people he names as heroes, beginning with Teddy Roosevelt, lightning would strike him dead if he said the Democrats stood for the values of those Republicans.

So the obvious question, which this fool never answers, is "What political party is closest to your views, now?" Absent an answer to that question, all the rest of this is masturbatory hot air.

James Chaney is a Eugene attorney

How do I add anything to that?

If this is a real Republican, I'm wearing white the next three times I get married.

[farmer18th]

While it has compiled this record of failure and deception, the party which I'm leaving today has spent its time, energy and political capital trying to save Terri Schiavo, battling the threat of single-sex unions, fighting medical marijuana and physician-assisted suicide, manufacturing political crises over presidential nominees, and selling privatized Social Security to an America that isn't buying. We fiddle while Rome burns.

This guy was never a Republican.

[Cultural Jihad]

Enough is enough. I quit.

I sincerely hope the author finds a political party to champion his moral-liberalism.

[silent_jonny]

then get rid of the loose screws like Collins, Graham, that screwball from RI, etc.

And don't forget John McCain, the Crown Prince of RINOs.

[TADSLOS]

Frankly, I'm astonished that you have survived past post #1. We're a tolerant bunch or maybe just morbidly curious.

[Indy Pendance]

He never voted republican. He's a troll.

[EggsAckley]

[Gaffer]

Oh, boo hoo hoo, boo hoo hoo........This letter from a "real" person is just a lame attempt to make himself look/act like Zell Miller...only he doesn't come close. Sounds to me that he's just a dissatisfied wannabe that isn't getting his way. He sounds too much like a nutcase environmentalist to be all that REPUBLICAN. Peddle this crap to someone who'll take it seriously, the DEMOCRATS....

[Tijeras_Slim]

Never wear your red shirt and post drivel on your first day.

[snowsislander]

Funny how so many of the Democrats' talking points just happened to slip into this "Republican's" opus from the Republican Party.

[Pit1]

James Chaney is a Eugene attorney who has been in private practice for more than 20 years.....

There are two clues right here. Eugene (assume city) and attorney. You are a fake! Be gone.

[Right Brother]

My party has repeatedly ignored, discarded and even invented science to suit its needs, most spectacularly as to global warming.

Oh, this sentence is so republicanesque.

The needle on my B.S. meter is fully pegged.
