FORMER CONGRESSMAN: I’M QUITTING GOP

Tancredo was my Rep. for a number of years, and I must say, he's finally realizing what many of us conservatives have. The Republican party has become Democrat Lite. I found it to be an interesting read.

Ummm he's this done before.

I actually just came to L&P to post this exact article. His reasons are undeniable, but I still don't know what it's going to take for the "GOP" and its old fuddy members to see their own hypocrisy and broken promises. This has been discussed many times on this forum, and still, the party-line GOP supporters just refuse to acknowledge their betrayal at the hands of their own beloved party. "PARTY TRUMPS PERSON", right?

I don't dispute many in the republican party have betrayed party loyalists. No question. It's not a matter of being a party-line supporter. It's a matter of understanding that the party (of the big two) that most closely aligns with your beliefs is the party to support. I'm not going to get into it again why the party is more important than the individual person. If you don't get it by now, you never will. For proof it's the truth you need look no further than liberals. Satan/Hillary herself could be on the democrat ballot and liberals and leftists would rally around her and get her elected. And they also know they only need to control the white house or one house of congress to further their agenda or at least maintain the status quo. And they're winning the battles everywhere else, too.

Why? Because they don't give a rat's ass that their candidate isn't perfect and doesn't believe exactly like they do. All they care about is getting their person in power because that means control.

Conservatives on the other hand are their worst enemy. Because they worry about principles instead of winning. When conservatives don't get the candidate they like they piss and moan and stay home and don't vote and let the democrats take the election. Then they piss and moan more about how bad life sucks with democrats in power.

The best chance to change the party is to vote for the person you like in the primaries. That's the best anyone can do.

The system we have is the system we have whether any of you like it or not.

NOT trying to start anything but.... if you vote Dem lite, you will get Dem lite, and as long as this continues nothing will change. Just sayin'

Ah yes the Old Flip Flopper himself. Buy a necklace or jewelry, anyone?

I used to like Tom Tancredo but I still blame him for Hickenlooper. The only way to win is to take over the state and national GOP as fragmenting the non-socialists will just keep letting the socialists win with <50% of the vote.
