Give me a good alternative, and I’m ready to leave.

I will give you a good business reason. If a store is losing customers to the point it is damaging the store, the store has two alternatives. Do nothing and fade away. Or find out what is wrong and fix it in the hope the customers will come back. If the fix is good, they do come back because they used to shop there.

If the RNC determines what is wrong with the current set of no-cajones in Congress and state level and do fix it, then I will be the first to re-register as a Republican. Until they do so, Phooey on them.

My wife and I realized that by being Republican we are basically endorsing their actions. We have since made the statement we do not agree with their pandering to the Dims.

If they do not fix it and continue to become completely RINO then there is no hope. There is the possibility of a 3rd party but that is remote, although President Lincoln did change history by heading such a movement. At this time we do not see a potential Lincoln in the wings but you never know. Politics is funny and interesting.

True. But when it’s a question of say two guys that both personally fund abortion/legislate
gay’ into everything, there is no way to call either of those evils ‘lesser’ They are both greater.

Maybe now we can get on with trying to elect people with principles.

Tell me you are not expecting that from the Republican party as it is now and likely will remain...........

Have not registered R since the 2004 election.

I used to do that with everything they sent me. After about 100 times or so they finally just quit sending them to me......then I switched parties. Lol

Anybody ever even HEAR of him before he became the chairman?

He coordinated the Great Red Wave of 2010 that ushered in Governor Scott Walker of Wisconsin, along with a Republican State Senate and Assembly. It was a bit of a miracle given the state's bi-polar, left leaning tendencies

We in Wisconsin had high hopes he would be as effective nationally, but those hopes have been hopelessly dashed.

I re-registerd this morning in the “decline to state” equivalent category. 26 years I’ve been a registered Republican...until today. For me the issue wasn’t whether amnesty passes, it was the abject betrayal of Rubio and the now confirmed certainty that no leader will emerge that won’t be corrupted by the RINO Establishment. The House may beat back this one, but I’m convinced more than ever that we’ve lost the Party either way.

The purpose of an opposition is to oppose.

Where is the opposition to today's leadership in America?

The Republican Party's leadership does not oppose Democrats. They sometimes voice disagreement as to tactics and strategy. But today's so-called Republican "leaders" obviously lack the courage to publicly disagree with Progressive beliefs, and would surely rather slit their own wrists than ever risk the adoption of firm and immoveable principles, much less develop the language with which to defend them.

It is so much to go along and get along with the Devil than to call him by his name and risk all, once one has decided that human life is of no particular moment, that virtue is nothing more than a silly social construct devoid of meaning, and that Eternity is an abstraction best left to theoretical academicians and polemical priests.

re: “True. But when it’s a question of say two guys that both personally fund abortion/legislate

Or, rather, they are both the same. Both equally evil. As a conservative, I could not vote for someone who is openly pro-abort and pro-same sex marriage even if one was economically conservative. I guess Libertarians could, but I couldn’t.

The only difference between the results of this study and my own opinion about why I left the Republican Party is they filtered out the expletives.

Quite a few folks were turned off by the shut out of Ron Paul at the convention, and I’m talking about folks who weren’t even Ron Paul supporters.

They thought he had earned the right to speak. The rules change reminded them of the elitism they expect from Democrats.

Omne of the main reasons I vote for a Republican is to keep a Democrat out of office. However, I have voted third party or write-in as a protest vote, and can see myself doing that more often in the future. The GOP jumped the shark by stabbing its base in the back. ‘F ‘em!

I left the democrat party because I was too conservative to be a democrat (I was a Reagan democrat). Now I find I’m too conservative for the republican
party. If Sarah starts a new party, I’m in!

It is anyway! How do you trust them on the next major crisis? The name has been erased from my vocabulary.

They assume if you are independent, you are voting Republican. Not so anymore.

In an interview with Breitbart News, she expanded on her criticism of the RNC's self-examination, saying that the RNC's decision to use political consultants was "a perfect example of everything they are doing wrong."

Consultants want to bill hours. They get to bill hours when they please the people paying the bills.

Just as a side note, in all the 3P threads over the last few days...well over 1500 posts total, I count less than about 20 people who are determined to stick with the GOP.

There has been a seismic shift in Freeper attitudes.
