Thread: Mass exodus to "Independent"?

If they DO push this *turd* of a bill through... what if we all switched party affiliation to Independent? What that make any difference?

I've heard this idea a lot, and am wondering if it makes any sense.

I did that two years ago. I can't say that I've noticed any improvement, since no matter what I register as, I always have to choose between two horrible choices.

I did it three years ago. I realized then that the Republicans are no different then the Democrats.

I Reg'd independant a few years ago as well. The swap may not make much difference, but faxing or mailing a copy of the receipt for your donation to the opposition's party/candidate may show them what they are missing

My husband and I both plan on doing this after the primary. We need to remain registered as Republicans to vote for Tom Tancredo.

Even though I am a registered republican I have not voted party lines in a long time. I have voted for some Republicans but a long time ago I gave up voting for the "lesser of two evils". My ancestors died for my right to vote and I do not take that lightly.

I refused to vote for Amnesty loving Republicans. On the same note, I would vote for a Dem who is Pro American and Anti-Amnesty. I did not vote for Jorge Bush either- in 2000 I wrote in Pat Buchanan and in 2004 I wrote in Tom Tancredo.

People criticize me calling those wasted votes but if enough people voted that way, a third party could win.

Plus it is my right as an American to vote for whoever the hell I want.

Talk about strange...I have a cat that does not...come in ....I am out of town ...my son called to say the cat pooped in the house....and he started laughing...I was like "that is not funny"....My son said" he pooped on a magazine picture of George Bush"...I said give him a can of tuna...My son said he pooped on some mail too...from the GOP from Texas...I said give him two cans of tuna :P

no. it is more strategically advantageous that we remain registerd R so that we can vote out these Rats in the primaries.

don't dismiss the power of the primaries, they can make or break this stupid R party.

let's BREAK it!!

LOL! @ redbagder's cat! What a delightfully intelligent creature! IDEA why not lay a few pictures of the declared presidential candidates around the floor and see which one he 'marks' for failure? :P

Well, here, this should pick you up. The polls that I saw about a week ago showed how voters are registering.

45% Independents
27% Republicans
32% Democrats

People are leaving the main parties in droves.

This is the first time in history that I know of.

As a whole, they certainly have a different mindset on border security and the illegal immigrant issue! A little homework will prove what I say is true.

It's the Republican leadership, including the President, that is the problem, not the whole Republican Party. Don't be so quick to shaft the very same people that may save our bacon should the amnesty bill reach the U.S. House. They saved us last time, and I'm hopeful they'll do it again in the end.
