I changed my mind. I'm staying Republican

The Louisiana Libertarian Party of Louisiana, is that similar to American Dodgeball Association of America?

I think it's more like The Department of Redundancy Department.....[/Rimshot]

how do you make sure the power you will grab in the future won't corrupt you? How will you follow Ron Paul's notion about Power?

This has what to do with staying Republican or leaving the party?

Right, the best bet is to work from within, and take back the ship.

He obviously believes a political party is some magical entity.

After long thought I've decided that the best way for me to help bring back my country is to remain a Republican and start working myself into the system where I can change it. Third parties will never stand a chance here. WE must repair the system from within.

I too briefly considered the LP at one point despite being a lifelong Republican, but it's just not feasible.

I believe that the party system is flawed and completely sucks but that we are stuck with it and if we are to truly effect change then we have to work within the system. Either that, or we will end up in a bloody revolution once again.

Bob, have you looked at the Republican Liberty Caucus? I have not joined yet. It does seem to show promise, on the surface, as an existing doorway into the GOP. While it looks far from perfect, as is, it is more in-line with my way of thinking than any other GOP wing I have found. What is really attractive is that it is pre-existing. If enough of us joined, we could then adjust the platform as we see fit.

Plus, it would scare the bejeezus out of the establishment if ~100k ppl, suddenly joined the liberty wing of the GOP - LOL

Question: Are you allowed to be a registered Republican and a registered Libertarian at the same time? I know that Dr. Paul ran for president as a Libertarian, and I vaguely recall hearing that he had a lifetime membership to the Libertarian Party.

I just joined the LP, and am thinking of joining the RP, too. Is there any problem with this?

Anyone have an answer to my question in my previous post?

I think it depends on your state. Here in Illinois we don't have to register for anything.
