In light of all the Doomsday news about the sinking GOP, I seriously wonder if we still have some Republican Members hanging around.
 
RINO. Republican In Name Only.

I am convinced the Republicans have no place for me. I don't trust their social agenda, and they refuse to adhere to their fiscal agenda. Much of what they are telling us constitutes a good social agenda has been shown to be a royal crock. Further, these are the people who helped put us into this recession, and few of them took any action to stop it.

I don't trust any of the Republican leaders in California, or nationally. Frankly, they might have kept my vote and my interest if they would have worked on a far more narrow agenda, kept to secular limits, and actually stayed with it, rather than using their authority, such as it was from '94, to line their own pockets.
 
I've always considered myself an independant. Although much more liberal than conservative, I agree with some Republicans on some issues. So I guess you'd say I'm a little bit Republican and a lot more Democrat with a healthy dose of little-"l" libertarian.

Since the GOP has started to think about self examination and trying to get away from their more religious and bigotry-dominated ways, I'd guess I'm more Republican now than I've been since Ford. So I voted "yes".
 
I was a republican, until some time during Bush's first term, when I realized the party had become completely corrupted and hi-jacked by the christos. I was elected as a republican to a local office prior to that, and still get all kinds of magazines and letters etc. as a result, which is pretty painful as an athiest skeptic, getting all of these "bible cures" and "heartfelt letters" from Sarah Palin :mad: . Not to mention all the mail I get reminding me how America is a "Christian nation." ... it's as if the Republican party has become a parody of itself.

As a former Christo, my apologies for that. We were trying to take over Cleveland.
 
Whew! I saw the thread title, and thought it was the latest utterance of Arlen Specter.
 
Well, I did register as a Republican for the primaries so I could vote for Ron Paul as I viewed him as being the best for the Constitution, this Country and for American values.

I however only switched over to being a Republican for that purpose. I don't really consider myself a Democrat or a Republican however...

I voted for Dukakis and then Bob Dole. I suck at picking Presidents. How about no political parties and we vote for the individual.
 
I hate Bush more than anybody, and I've never been a repub...

OK, ok, I cannot tell a lie - I've registered for that particular wing of the two-winged American Nationalist Socialist Party to vote for Ron Paul in the primaries. :mad:

I will never vote again. (Except when it counts - with my money and with my feet.)
