I fervently hope this election brings about the end of the Republican Party as we have known it for the past several years. It would not surprise me to see it break into religious right, a libertarian, and an economics-first-to-hell-with-the-rest sects. Hey, one can dream.

I'm 33girl and I had a seance and contacted Abraham Lincoln and Dwight Eisenhower and all 3 of us approve this message.

LOL. I wish there was a place for socially liberal fiscal conservatives who believe in a strong defense.
The Republican Party, if it wants to remain nationally relevant in the 20th century, has to do a lot of work. Let's see if they actually do it.

These are actually my views exactly. I classify myself as a republican because I'm extremely economically conservative.

Well, there are the blue dog Democrats (with whom I identify in any ways), but the Tea Partiers and redistricting have made them an endangered species, st least in Washington.

What she said!
The GOP mixing in the religion with government was a major turn off for me

This is what I believe and I have abandoned the Republican party (because I believe they mix Religion in with government) and moved to Libertarian. You really should check out their values on all the topics you might see they are a better fit (At least I did). Libertarian Platform

From my local libertarian website:
Quote:
|
"There are two kinds of Tea Partiers," said Benedict. "One kind is so blinded by its hatred of Obama and Democrats that it cannot see fault with Republicans. It's the other kind the Libertarian Party is reaching out to."
|
Looks like they are already trying to absorb Republicans.
