Thanked: 234It's such an absurd statement I figured as much, but I still felt a burning desire to ask for the same reason.

My Vote should be obvious because while there are some disagreeable people in some parts of the movement. The only people I can't stand are the ones who are willing to compromise their principals (and my rights) in the name of "unity" or " consensus".
For the record I'm also a right wing Libertarian. Though I disagree with the party on a couple of points, abortion and immigration being two.

"Him" is a woman, first off, and I noted it was an outsider's view, for one thing. Did you also report singlewedge?
And, I noted the elements on the leftish side which could also be done without. I came in with fine intentions, attacking no one. Nothing I said was inflammatory. I was trying to give a view which seems, actually, to jibe with the majority views. (I clicked the one about Rush).

Well I apologize for that.
the rest was quite simply the stuff that thread hijackings are made of
it was not my intent, rather I was very clear that I wanted to avoid discussing leftist issues.
I would rather have only 5 replies on topic than have 50 replies to some lefty hogwash.Last edited by gratewhitehuntr; 05-22-2009 at 01:44 AM.

With all due respect, I do not see it as a hijack. The question was asked, and I noted the outsider's view. I made no personal attacks, just gave general impressions. Etc. Whatever. Pardon me, I will now bow out.

The final straw for me leaving the Republican party was the illegal immigration debate early last year. The Republican party looks to me just like the Democrats do....and that's my OPINION, I'm not changing it and no amount of convincing or arguing will change my opinion, either; that's the way I see it. Both major political parties can't give me a choice of either socialism or socialism light and expect me to be happy with my list of choices. I'm a conservative first.
Huntr, the last check box is what hit me. The Republicans had 6 years, from 2000 to 2006 to do the right thing and they blew it. They overspent, took away liberties, increased the size of government and made excuses and got hammered for it. The American public looked at that and figured that by electing all of the new blood into the White House and both houses of Congress that there was going to be some kind of revelation. Boy, did they get duped.
I've written letters to my local Republican party headquarters as well as to national party headquarters and told them I'd be back when they start making the decisions that made them great back in the day. My words went unheeded, the party is in shambles and will be that way for a long time to come.
They seriously need to start throwing people out of the party. I don't know if they can constitutionally or legally do it, but the dead weight is what's killing it and needs to be shown the door; and on the way out, "don't let it hit ya' where the good Lord split ya'".
The Democrats are in control because no matter how right or wrong they are, they stick together.
