Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Tell me why I should stay in the Republican party? After the crap that the Republicans pulled today, I'm done. I believe what the party is supposed to stand for. I'm a conservative, pro-life, small government person. I proudly signed up for the Republican party shortly after I turned 18, thinking that I was doing my part to bring those beliefs to the mainstream. Instead, the Republicans told me to elect Bush, Dole, McCain, and Romney. I watched as Bush added trillions of our debt and added new unfunded entitlements to our heavily indebted country. I watched as Dole and McCain bashed Conservatives every chance they got, while praising the socialist ideas of the democrats. Now I see the Republicans trying to elect Romney, a man who believes in socialized medicine, more taxes, no use of natural resources, abortion on demand, and concentrating all the power in the Federal government. After Ryan, who is far from perfect but a little bit conservative, was added, I had a little hope. But you idiot Republicans dashed that today by changing the rules to strip the states of their power. You even had to break your own rules and deny votes to many of the delegates to do this. How can I believe that you will do anything that you have promised, when you slap the representatives that we sent you in the face? How can I believe that you are for a limited Federal Government, when you don't even trust the states in such a small manner. Unless I'm convinced otherwise, I'm leaving the Communist party of the GOP. |

why belong to any party?
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 788508 like sam, i joined when i was 18 and i think i had to register to vote as belonging to a particular party to be able to participate in the primaries. at the time i just knew that i wanted to be a republican and relly didn't think of the whys or the hows. at the time i thought it was very important, but now i just believe that the primaries are a waste of time and actually hurt the candidates. |

I have had enough of both parties. All they do is look after themselves and the interests of the major corporations. Neither party is working for the interests of the American people anymore. They deserve less than a 12% approval rating! They all deserve to be fired immediately! |
