I gave up on the Republican party after this last elecction. I very nearly joined in 06,...no, nay, never.
I’ll vote for the most conservative and electable candidate in general elections ~ and I hope the Tea Party keeps them honest ~ but I will not be joining the GOP unless folks like Pence, Palin and Bachmann are at the helm.
I agree with you on the party. The establishment gave us the two Bushes, Dole and McCain. The Democrats have become hard core leftists and no longer hide being socialist/Marxists. They stand for something and now govern true to their core principles. Unfortunately the Republican establishment continues to call themselves conservative but in reality they are political pragmatists who falsely believe in compromising principles when governing.
The Rinos need to be removed from the party.
