Suppose registered Republicans in huge numbers changed their party registration to dem, ind, con, etc. I think if it happened in large enough numbers it would get media attention and just maybe create an Oh Sh&t moment for the GOPe. It would be nice if that were to happen in advance of the vote for Speaker.
Go off the cliff. I still think the Republicans shouldn’t do a thing until the Senate passes a budget. You cannot take from people without knowing what you are bringing in and what you are sending out.
Publicize it and force the Senate to do something. Without it, no deal.
“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.
How does one go about that in states like Illinois and Texas,etc, unless Texas has changed recently? No registration by party affiliation.
