“Suppose registered Republicans in huge numbers changed their party registration to dem, ind, con, etc.”
Our first clue was in the ‘90s when Republicans took control of Congress and acted like democrats. I registered out of the party then and will never go back; and I walked door-to-door for Reagan. Conservatives keep falling for the same old liberal republican trick. The republican establishment doesn’t care about conservatism. They only care about conservative money. Their attitude is, “just pony up and shut up, your betters will make the actual decisions!”
Look what happened on this site when some of us refused to vote for the liberal Romney. They immedietly started calling us names. They tried to bully us. They slandered us by saying we were voting for Obama. They demanded that we get with THEIR program. They LOST. Their great strategy of compromising their principles in order to attract imaginary middle-of-the-road voters FAILED. So now they are scapegoating conservatives and shutting us out of committee assignments for cold-blooded, cynical, political reasons.
How many times do you have to be knifed in the back before realizing someone is your enemy? Rove et. all think you’re stupid.
Nothing comical about the GOP.
Deeply distressing.
“Tammy Faye Boehner”, heehee. The Gopper is dead!
Mega dittos on what you said about Rush. I’m, also, bothered about the ongoing silence, by the GOP and by way too many conservative talk show hosts, on the issue of voter fraud and the November 2012 general election, including the long existing legal agreement that prevents both major political parties from discussing voter fraud from ANY election.
What’s really funny about the flounder is that it’s on a rock a good 10 feet from the water’s edge, and it is floundering less and less with each passing second.
That’s still no reason to change your registration, for depending on your state you may not be able to vote in a Republican primary in 2014 in which you might like to participate. Of course, in TX there is no formal procedure to “change parties”. One must wait until the next primary to vote in the other party’s primary as the only way to change parties. Or one may sit out a primary and be an “unaffiliated voter” for two years.
Even Reagan had his flaws: Sandra Day O’Connor, Anthony Kennedy, King Day, GHWB. Without King Day, there probably could have been no Obama Day in 2008.
Third party? We already have the Constitution Party, which usually fights to reach .5 of 1 percent.
I have that feeling too, but which one? If we want to go with a third party we have to decide which one and then unite. Otherwise it is a waste
Isn’t the Constitution party a third party?
You nailed it. I am tired of hearing Rush talk. we need leaders and we need action.
None have existed since.
How does one go about that in states like Illinois and Texas,etc, unless Texas has changed recently? No registration by party affiliation.
Boehner’s body language around Obama is always cringing. They must have something on Boehner that is appalling.
You are correct. The Geriatric Old Plotters are the enemy within.
You have your ‘eye’ on one elected senator, a congresswoman who barely got re-elected, one guy who wont be elected soon, and a woman celebrity not elected now nor unlikely to be anywhere anytime soon.
That’s a ‘party’?!?
Glad to hear you're foursquare for guys who are nothing but solid gold -- like Mitt Romney and Jeb Bush and Gov. Christie.
You show 'em.
Sad, isn't it? The people who believe what I believe can hardly get elected dog-catcher in post-millenium America.
But it is what it is. Thats my party for better or worse.
