Quote from Landis82:
They are also trying to come to terms that the GOP put an elderly candidate up for the Presidential election who admittedly knew very little about Economics; during an economic contraction the likes that this country hasn't seen since the 1930's.
Kind of reminds me of when they nominated Dole. That was my first big disappointment. The reason they pursued impeachment was the second.
Like I said before, I was a registered Republican for 28 years. The Party left me with their doubling of the national debt under Bush and the spend, spend, spend attitude with nary a veto.
I didn't last anywhere as long as you. I registered R in 94 and registered I 12 years later. The spending was the last straw. I've been voting the lesser of two evils since. If there isn't some fresh blood next cycle, I'm not going to waste my time. I'm tired of voting against a party instead of for a party. If I can't defend a party, what's the point in voting for them? That pretty much covers them all according to my beliefs.
