Agree with your post 100%

I changed my lifelong GOP registration to Ind after the shellacking of 2006 when it was all too clear that GWB was not going to take on Piglosi and Reid.

I too have been a lifelong registered Republican. I proudly registered when I was old enough in 1979 then enthusiastically voted for Reagan in 1980 and 1984.

I've been loyal ever since, even giving my vote to McCain and Romney because the alternative was so bad...now I'm done with them unless they change back to the Regan model of Conservatism...not holding breath though...

I'm hoping for a new Conservative party to rise or I'll just vote for Conservatives that are on the ballot, no more RINO's!

You outlasted me. Sounds like we started about the same time, but they lost me when Dole proved he would willingly lose to Clinton, not unlike Bush the elder before him.

The republican brand is promoted as anything you want it to be, which means, they stand for going along to get along.

Who wants to be a part of that step-family? It's hard to be worse than the demonrat party, but the GOPe manages to do it election after election.
