How the Republicans have lost me

I oficially announce that as of 2000 hours (thats 8 p.m. )o the 4th of Febuary 2008. I am no longer a republican but am an independant. Of coarse I will have to go and change this affiliation with the county this week ...blah blah blah.

I attended my local precint caucas this evening but didnt even bother to stay after thirty minutes. I was totally disalussioned with te process. This is the grass roots of American politics. The beginning for the average Joe to have his or her say. The input ion the coarse of the nation and policies that will effect them, their children, their grandchildren ...yadda yadda yadda.

This is where the republicans have lost me. Instead of seeing the political process take hold and sprout ideas and discussion. What I saw was a click. Now in all fairness I do not base this just on my precinct. I base it on the addition of the two other precincts that were there as well.

I am a people watcher. Be it good or bad I observe people and listen. A habit I picked up while on my very first leave in the military from a very wise friend. Being in a foriegn country ( the Philippeans) one neds to watch and see what is going on around them. A habit I keep today. One that has kept me out of shall we say trouble.

Anyways what I saw was three groups of people. Each group, though suposedly ideologically the same, vastly different and leary of each other. What I heard was three groups of people poseing as conservative. More proof in my mind that this country has swung so far to the left that they have no idea or concept of what conservatism is.

There of coarse were those there who were still supporting Ron Paul, and convinced of the insider theory on 9/11. Thos who were dissapointed Fred Thompson had dropped out. Others clinging on to the notion that Newt will rise from obscurity and save the republican party. then there was a majority that talked of Mc Cain. How he is the only true conservative and American in the race. Give me a fricken break. Not even close. Where are these people getting their information and better yet what rock are they living under.

I guess what upset me the most was a conversation that was leaning and gaining support. This was that our economy and country needs and must have an open boarder. HOGWASH, BOULDERDASH, BULLSH$%!!!!

This is not conservatism. The support of conspirocy therorist, globalization, the destruction of a nations soveriegnty. How different are these views from socialism? Not different are they. If this is just in my local area how far spread is it?

You do not have to look very far. You see it every morning on the telly. Fox news reports the growing support of McCain and his socialism. The MSM is always celebrating the lefts agenda. This country needs a wake up/shake up badly. A new political party. One that represents those of us who are looseing our voice to these leftists. No they are not moderates they are leftisits. Not as far as say Obamma and Stalin perhaps but still to the left of center.

One needs to do some research and see that dispite Ronald Reagons great leadership, and the way he made you fel proud to be an American. He was still only a moderate and not this right wing ultra conservative so many people tout.

Since my party is now such a sham. I feel I have no other choice but to support a third party. A party that represents my beliefs. A conservative party.
