They left me behind way back in 2003 and they've been pickling up speed in the wrong direction ever since.
The best part is, I'm an angry old white guy. The exact one they think they have wrapped up tight. I even got a nice solicitation letter from that wimp-boy Reince Priebus last fall, asking for more contributions. I'm still on their list because I voted GOP since Nixon and contributed to the RNC up until 2000.
That's when they made it clear that they were no longer rational. They're hostile to science, workers, and fiscal responsibility. They start and mismanage idiotically conceived middle east wars. They offer fatally flawed economic policies. They're simply no longer working for our nation's best interests.
Left GOP but will still vote for GOP. Great topic!
Yeah, because GOP officials really, truly, deeply and sincerely care that when you pull the lever for them, you're pouting and muttering "libertarian!" under your breath.
You do realize that a cow has a greater weight than a chicken, right???? Of course I realize that. I am also smart enought to know it doesn't make any difference to my point.
Can you say Red Herring???
I can say red herring because that is all your thread is is a red herring. You have left the GOP, but you are still voting Republican means you have never left the GOP.

You're darn right I'm angry.
Nixon was too the left of Obama, so that is hardly a point in your favor. Supported a national ban on handguns, created the EPA, DEA, Amtrak, etc.
Did you seriously vote for Reagan? I doubt it, but I'm willing to be proved wrong here. It's just that I've seen too many liberals who claim to have been Republicans but are basically 'seminar callers.'
For a conservative who has grown tired of the neo-con stuff, the GOP spending binge of 2000-2006, or the antics of John Boehner, the natural response would seem to be to reform the party from within. If your response is to join the Democrats, it does not quite compute.
The problem I see with some Republicans is that they believe that Democrats are honorable and reasonable. Individual Democrats may be, but as a group they are not. They will not negotiate in good faith, and that is a lesson the Republicans seem unable to learn. They will place their ideology over reality and over what is good for the country and that is also a lesson the Republicans seem unable to learn. There are a few like Jim DeMint and Rand Paul who simply refuse to agree to something that isn't good for the country no matter what, but most Republicans are willing to compromise what is right. They seem to believe that the Democrats will see reason and will live up to their end of the bargain, even though history tells us that isn't the case.
This.^^^ We need Rand Paul in the White House. Unfortunately, the American people would rather have their "goodies" from Daddy Obama than have someone in the White House who will get this country back on the right track.

No thank you, I never want to see a nutjob like Rand Paul in the White House, he would be worse than his dad.

Oh and there is no T in enough?
There isn't even been an election, so to say I am still voting Republican is speculative. I will vote for Republicans, when appropriate, but when it is a squish like McCain, I will abstain on that office.
Also, I will no longer donate. Now, for me that isn't a huge thing, no more than $10K a year between candidates and the RNC, but if enough of us stop, they might get the message.
And yes, I make a lot of typos.
You have been brilliant in one regards, spelling. Big yourself a dung-colored star for your keyboard.
They will continue to loose true conservatives until they stand up to the beast (DNC). Freedom is at stake, Liberty is at stake, and they cower like craven fools.
When Reagan got blindsided by the DemocRATS, they didn't learn.
When Bush Senior got blindsided by the DemocRATS, they still didn't learn.
They may never learn, and under one-party, DemocRAT rule, there is no hope for the USA.
Yup. You better leave while the gettin' is still good. And don't let the door hit ya where the Good Lord split ya.
