Let the states decide etc etc.

And abortion and stem cell research and school prayer and intelligent design. Oh wait, the 'fundies' are a big reason why I'm leaving the (R) party after this election.

This one always gets my blood boiling. We are on the brink of a medical revolution and it is being heavily delayed for the most ridiculous reasons.

Robor, I fully understand your sentiments but I'm puzzled why you would time leaving the GOP until after the election-if it was me that was a message I would have sent to the party a long time ago, and I certainly wouldn't delay it now. Leaving after the election would most likely be interpreted as rats leaving a sinking ship, or the fundies arguing that the "moderates" (ie, McCain) are driving out the party members.

To me, party affiliation has two benefits:

1) Your mailbox, email box and phone will be filled with constant fund solicitations

2) Depending on your state, you may be required to declare for a party to vote in it's primary.

Nobody is forcing you to not give the IRS more of your money. When you finish your tax returns tack on an extra 10% of your income for good measure.

The day one of these we want higher taxes schmucks post a copy of his receipt for paying extra money to the treasury department...yeah, whom are we kidding.

Ron Paul disagrees, as do I.

As a libertarian, I disagree. We don't need 4 more years of neocon policies with McCain.

with McCain leading the republican party, I think he's truly transformed the GOP into the big-tent party they've always claimed to be. his calls for unity and equality and equal rights for all Americans from all walks of life are deeply inspiring.

The only question about McShame is whether he flips more than he flops. The lying POS couldn't keep his Double Talk Express on track if it had training wheels.

I registered as a (R) just out of high school but the last (R) presidential candidate I voted for was Bush1. Why haven't I changed? Well, I must confess that I am a *horrible* procrastinator. 😛

I never vote in the primaries since FL does require a party affiliation and you must vote within it. I actually tried to change my party after the idea of a revote in FL came up but received a notice saying I changed too late. I think it was Feb or March? Anyway, given my voting history I don't think the (R)'s would determine I left their party over McCain.

Obama may not be perfect, but McCain is 4 more years of Bush and the country can't afford that.

No, no, no. Don't you understand if you support Obama you *MUST* accept all of his ideas, policies, and decisions as 100% perfect?

While McCain is the lesser of 2 evils. 😉

:roll:

I'm sending a message to the GOP by voting for Obama. Keep this shit up and you will be voted out. If that doesn't work, thanks for today's SCOTUS decision.

Both parties suck. McCain isn't terrible though, I mean...he's an ok guy compared to the current crew of scum. His bush lapdog moves made me lose some respect for him though. My main beef is his war stance, that pretty much kills him right there for me. He's got some other ideas that aren't to bad...but he's had some really stupid ones too (gas tax holiday).

As opposed to Mr. Read what my website says not what I say.
