“I didn’t leave the GOP, the GOP left me. It’s become Democrat Party light. I’ll not follow. As for McCain, I was never on board.”
Can’t argue with you on that. I totally agree.
But either McCain or Obama is going to be sitting in Washington and pathetic as these alternatives are, they are all we have right now. Given the enormity of the issues with Obama, it seems like a no-brainer to me.
AFTER the election, I am more than willing to support a third political party - the RINOs have taken over the RNC.
That's like the rancher who bought a rogue horse. The horse kept breaking its lead, wandering from the ranch. The rancher spent hours and days chasing his horse down. The horse even broke out from the barn on numerous occasions. When asked why the rancher didn't secure his barn better, he replied "the horse will just break out anyway".
Finally, the horse took off and couldn't be found. Some rustlers likely picked him up and rebranded him. The rancher bought another horse and wrote off his initial investment. He also secured his barn.
You're like the rancher, wanting to secure the barn after the horse escapes. The time to search for a viable conservative candidate is now; not after the GOP elects (quite questionable IMO) someone who's essentially a Democrat (rebranded). But, you do what you want to. I'll do what I have to.
