[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

Interesting and suggestive. It appears that in Europe, of which America is culturally a part of, that there is an ongoing abandonment of the traditional political parties. Indeed there is a reasonable argument to the effect that the traditional parties have abandoned the people. The party professionals have turned into a bunch of lying, greedy, drunken, drugged, overfed perverts who will do anything to promote their personal wealth and well being at the expense of the general welfare.

Please excuse a personal remark, but after 54 years a registered Republican I registered as an Independent a few months ago. Have others done the same? It appears to me that the Republican party has left Americanism and has become a party of self seeking degenerates.

I can see one reason for staying in the Republican party. That would be that if an excellent and believable constitutional conservative is up for nomination, vote for that person in the primary. But if a RINO sellout gets the nomination, don't bother voting in the election.

It's important that constitutional conservatives get as high a percentage of votes as possible.

I voted Republican since my first Presidential election in 1988, and Romney will be my last GOP vote. I left the Republican't Party after the McCain cluster flop and am now a registered non-affiliated independent. The American political system is as rigged and scripted as a WWE wrestling match.
