Hi Gang,
I Was Raised a Republican ....But After the Last 15-20 Years I have watched the GOP Slide Losing Members on a Regular Basis. I Am 66 years old a Viet Nam Vet Raised my Two Daughters Republican ...But Both my Youngest Daughter & I Have gone Independent...My Oldest Daughter is in the Young Republican's. I Kind of Look for her to Bail this year Too......I Think BUSH Was the Final Straw...:mrgreen:
 
Howdy. I'm Goshin, and I'm a recovering ex-Republican also. I think we'll get on fine. :)
 
welcome i'm a moderate/centrist i will argue for/against any and everything
 
I Was Raised a Republican for Family Values, Less Government, Less Spending ....But the Last 8 Years Killed That !...It Was Embarassing All Your big Money and Corporate Scandals Like Enron World Com , and as Recent as the Bernie Madoff were Republican's , Now They Handed a Mess to a New President and All they Can do is Blast Him...I Didn't Vote for OBAMA, But I am Impressed ...And Would not Think Twice about Voting for Him Now ! His Approval Rate at this Point was Even Higher than Reagan After 60 Days !
 
As an Independent ,I'm Leaning towards the Democrat's Now .....

...I Now After all the Brainwashing for Years That Jesus Only Loves The GOP....,.lol... I Thought if Jesus Came back tomorrow he would have been a Democrat . Didn't he Heal the Sick , Feed the Hungry, and Help the Poor ?.....lol

Okay, if you're legit, sorry... posting like that makes you look and sound like a Paid For Political Advertisement.

Your party affiliation says America First....that doesn't sound very compatible with switching to voting Democrat.

Well, anyway, I'm not a mod so its not my problem.

Two things, first of all - welcome to DP. Secondly, you are not alone. There are a lot of disgruntled conservatives out there, and on this board. Of course there are a lot of blind partisan hacks, from both sides, here as well. I am a conservative, but not a Republican. Bush and the majority of R's in Congress have lost sight of the values that made the party so great. But let me tell you that going Democrat is not the answer. While the Republican party turned into a very dangerous entity, the democratic leadership presently, is far more dangerous than the republicans could ever hope to be. Give the republicans some time, I think they're going to turn things back around and right the ship that has been hi-jacked for the past 8 to 10 years.

Danarhea is a regular poster here who has been very vocal against the direction the R's have taken the past few years. Like me, he is hoping for a change at the top that will trickle down to return the party to where it belongs. I haven't completely given up hope, but the recent past has stained the party. The point is that there are more disgruntled conservatives than you might think. We are presently without a party, and I'm OK with that if somehow the party we once called "ours" returns to it's values and philosophies.

Your Right.I'm an Independent that now leans Demo , because I'm Impressed with OBAMA and his Good Moves so far and His Guts to Try .(Bush Just Flat Gave up his Last Year !) . As he said in his Press Conference , Its One thing to Find Fault like the GOPer's are doing, but they haven't a Plan at All just Smart Ass Retoric.
As Far as Leaders or Stars the GOP has None .Sarah Palin is Not the Answer & Bobby ????...Forget it. I Live in a RED STATE"...Alabama but I am Constantly Watching more Go Independent !

If you think Obama has made "good moves so far", then you were never a conservative or a Republican. Or maybe it's just...doesn't the memory go first?

The GOP is pissed that this AIG thing has spiraled out of control and that those responsible should be held accountable. And by "those responsible", look no further than Obama and Dodd. Do we really want to have these two incompetent morons passing or signing any more spending bills any time soon?
 
Another Thing...Look at the Big Name MORONS for the GOP !
Sean Hannity , Ann Coulter , Glenn Beck , Dick Morris , Rush Limbaugh , Bill O'Reilly ,Karl Rove ,Newt Gingrich ....lol

And these are pundits, not elected officials. This would be like saying that Arianna Huffington, Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann, Michael Moore, Alan Colmes, Phil Donahue and Madeleine Albright are the leaders of the DNC. Get real, they are pundits and nothing more. If these clowns speak for the DNC, then I'll take a Bill O'Reilly, a Glenn Beck and raise you a Newt Gingrich any day of the week.

Did I say he didn't? Show me where I've defended the man where he wasn't unjustly attacked. Bush ****ed up the Iraq War and he never should have signed the TARP bill. I could go on and on about other things that Bush ****ed up, but I've already stated them previously on this very forum.

It seems to me you are either faking being a conservative, or you've been brainwashed into thinking that the dems are the answer when they are the bigger part of the problem.

With morons like Frank, Pelosi, and company, have fun with the new company you choose to keep, but I don't buy this sock puppet act for a second.

Kandy is the Some Reason Why You Must Capitalize Almost Every Word, It Reminds Me of the Old Films We Used To Watch In School on 8mm Reels, Where the Narrator Always Sounded Like He Was Speaking In All Capital Letters.

Typing that way is tiring too.
Frankly, you dont' sound like you were ever a conservative Republican...I'm thinking "seminar caller". You like Obama's moves? Spending several trillion dollars we don't have on failing business models is a good idea?

The Repubs in 02-08 were bad enough, but even the worst GOP's never dreamed of spending like Obama/Pelosi/Reid are doing.

Never mind, why am I arguing with a sock puppet/seminar caller.

Okay, kandy, I have to chime in. I am a liberal Democrat, and I find your posts suspicious as well. It seems weird to capitalize words in the middle of a sentence. It would be one thing if you were doing it for all words, but some? It just doesn't make sense to me.

What also doesn't make sense to me is the level of maturity you exude throughout this thread. I just cannot see a 66-year-old Vietnam veteran behaving like someone from middle school. This is not an insult to you--just an observation on my part.

So give us the real scoop. Are you really a Democrat coming on here to bash the right?
