I'm Resigning My GOP MEMBERSHIP, effective monday morning

[speciallyblend]

I will continue to promote Ron Pauls Message around our counties. I will be the most active person against mccain in our counties in colorado,but i can no longer be a member of a corrupt gop who only trys to marginalize me and republicans across the country. The gop has only made me certain who im not voting for mccain.

I can only hope that other republicans can take back their(our)party. I dont want the republican party as is. What the gop is doing is disgusting and i will campaign for anyone but mccain.. I'm truly disgusted. I wish the best for the rest of the republicans ,but seeing the road the gop is choosing. I predict a total meltdown of the gop after the general election,let them make their bed..

Ron Paul 2008 or anyone but mccain...


I did my best folks but it seems the gop is truly deaf dumb and blind ,SO BE IT.

Specialty please don't do that. What are you going to do? Join the Dems? Or the Libertarians who have not made an impact on the national level?

If the GOP is pissing you off, then you should stay in the party and force them to correct. That is what we are doing in Texas and it is working. Rome wasn't built in a day, but it sure was burnt in one. It will take time to take back the party, but you cannot win the game if you pout and take your ball and go home. Remember that these sheep in the party have been fed neocon propaganda for a long time now, it will take a while to educate them. It is kind of like losing weight, don't give up because you don't loose 40 pounds the first week, keep working hard and it will pay off, but we cannot do it if we have short attention spans.

We really need a maximum amount of people working it from within the inside.

To some history on the political parties... this happens all time, the GOP used to be for the people that were down trodden... now they are for the uber rich...

We are simply in the midst of a party platform change, same name, new direction. It is up to all of us to change the platform. It is the smartest way to change the country.

Both parties have changed and moved in different directions... keep fighting, focus on your local party, and create the spark that changes the people in your area.

 

[sluggo]

I share your frustration. However, I made acquaintances with a guy who is the former GOP head in a neighboring county. He convinced me that the party is in shambles, and the best way to get it back is to tough it out, and to BECOME the local GOP.

It won't be easy, but I think it's the best chance we've got to get our candidates in office.

 

[Aratus]

speciallyblend, if you still feel this way, do wait untiil after the september convention in st. paul!!!

 

[Michael Landon]

Please stick with the GOP. The more people we have that can continue to stand up against the current GOP the better odds we have of eventually winning back the party.

In both my BPOU convention and the Congressional district convention we went through some really corrupt bullshit from the "Old Guard" of the Republican Party. This only proves one thing...they hate us and fear us. This is a good thing. In 2 years we can get the party back into our hands, there will be a lot less people showing up because it isn't a Presidential election year and we should be able to take A LOT more of the delegate seats then.

I remember at my precinct caucus, the co-chair mentioned that 2 years ago there were only 2 people there and they filled the 2 delegate spots. This year there were 30+ people there. Guess what? In 2 years there'll probably be only 10 people there and 8 of them will be Ron Paul Republicans.

Please keep up the fight.

but i put in 100% and im sorry . I cant sit in a room full of ____. I dont need the republican party. Id rather vote for someone outside the republican party then waste it on a republican such as mccain. I can always support a true republican after the general election. my job is done in colorado. I'm only an alternate so. My goal is now to save my money so i can visit my mom who i havent seen in 2 yrs.
There really isnt anything else i can do for my caucus and im tired of the gop's unethical tactics. I have hope but to be honest knowing the gop. they will not allow ron paul to win the convention. mccain is dead in the water.

I can still have hope,but my job is done,now to watch the gop self implode. The gop in colorado is truly clueless. they think all is fine,so let them think that. There is nothing i can do personally in colorado its up to the gop party hacks and the state delegates. I was voted out by mccain and party drones who are clueless and i guess brain-washed gop neo-cons who will find out the hard way . the gop needs to lose ,maybe thats the problem.

 

[angelatc]

You're right. The GOP indeed needs to lose, it needs to fall apart, and you need to be in an established position ready to start the reconstruction.

The whole process is corrupt, but you have to wade into the vipers before you can behead them.

 

[speciallyblend]

look i understand everyones concern

speciallyblend, if you still feel this way, do wait untiil after the september convention in st. paul!!!

but im in colorado and im already out . I'm only an alternate to the state and by no means have a chance in hell of going national. I'm on the volunteer list for the st. paul convention. other then that there is nothing left for me in colorado but to campaign against mccain or hope someone runs otside the republican party or that the state delegates in colorado nominate ron paul supporters for the national. It's pretty much out of my hands now,so thats all i can do. I tell you what if ron paul doesnt run 3rd party or endorses someone outside the republican party .I will post democrat sign in frot of my house before i ever push mccain.

you can thank the gops actions across this country for that. I will treat the gop like they treated ron paul. THE GOP CAN BLAME THEMSELVES FOR MY ATTITUDE ON THE GOP.

I DO WISH EVERYONE THE BEST and know my vote is for RON PAUL 2008 or someone other then mccain

boy it took you awhile

I reached your point during Katrina (2005)
I too will push for Paul and Liberty....but I no longer think the GOP gives a shit about Gun-Rights or limited Govt.

...and I will not reward their behavior with a McCain vote.....NEVER

but im in colorado and im already out . I'm only an alternate to the state and by no means hav a chance in hell of going national.

Just because you stay in the GOP doesn't mean you have to support McCain. I am writing in RP in November. Instead try to find a good liberty minded local candidate and support him. We have to start building our candidate base now for the future. McCain is not the GOP.

[IM2L844]

Don't quit now! Things are just getting interesting.

I know a huge number of us have been stumbling around like chickens with our heads cut off this time around, but now we are getting past the learning curve and by 2010 we have the opportunity to to get all the kinks ironed out and become a well oiled machine that the Neo-Con branch of the party will not be able to resist.

It might not be readily apparent right now, but I believe we are on a winning team that will be unstoppable in the near future if we can just find a way to stick together long enough.

We can do this thing.

 

[speciallyblend]

you just proved my point

I dont have to be a republican in my county;0 since being a republican here is a death sentence anyway. I'm in leadville colorado where we got a majority of libertarians(true conservative republicans) on our town council(and sensible conservative dems). Our town is mostly conservative ,but anti republican. the last thing you want to be here is a republican and after mccain , i think we might need to ban the word anyway locally the libertarians and greens are effective and not as corrupt. Colorado has thought locally for many of years thats why the last thing you want to admit here is that your a republican, no worries we already think locally and locally the gop is truly dead and ill make sure of it,since a majority of people here have no intention of voting mccain let alone republican ,thank god they see thru the gop crap..

 

[Michael Landon]

By the way, I'll never vote for McCain... Republicans NEVER vote for LIBERALS.

You are judged by the company you keep:
McCain/Kennedy
McCain/Feingold
McCain/Lieberman
Kerry/McCain 2004?

Kennedy, Feingold, Lieberman, Kerry? Liberals.
McCain? Liberal.

[orlandoinfl]

It's only a learning curve. The GOP is scared shitless. The Revolution is working.

 

[speciallyblend]

thanks for comments. I understand everyone ,but i remind you i dont have to be republican to vote for a true republican either. I will personally enjoy watching the gop implode before the election or after either way it will be a good purge to allow the true republicans to take back their party. there wont be one republican after the election ,that i didnt say told you so,but hey the gop is truly deaf.

Why support any party at all? Find good candidates, regardless of party affiliation, and support them.

 

[Dustancostine]

Why support any party at all? Find good candidates, regardless of party affiliation, and support them.

You can do that while working within the party. Who do you think chooses and grooms the candidates, where do you think the majority of candidates come from? They come from the party machine. And who drives that machine, helps drive the candidates, now all you have to do is try and get your hands on the wheel.

[rockandrollsouls]

I'm a registered Republican because I can change the party. The libertarian party doesn't need my help. They have it right. However, I can correct the republican party at town meetings and such and at least attempt to bring it back to its roots

 

[Seanmc30]

Ya know, this reminds me of something that happens to a loved one with a drug problem. If you bail them out of trouble or give them money, simply because you can't stand the thought of them being completely desolate and on the street...you may help them in the short term, but they will always revert back to the old behavior.

The trick is to swallow your own grief and simply let them hit rock bottom. This is what needs to happen to the Republican party. The party overlords need to understand that if they do not comply with the principles of their constituency, we will not continue to support them. Party of principles = We don't make any god damn exceptions!!!

Personally, I will not be voting for any of the big three candidates, but I am hoping that the Republicans loose in a massive land slide......and I mean massive. I want the Republican party to hurt so bad after this election that they will have no choice but to re-assess this ridiculous path to Fascism they have decided to follow.

Supporting McCain, just because you really don't like the alternative, is not helping the party, or its TRUE platform, it simply allows these cronies to think they can do anyhting they want and people will still vote for them.
