Reply #6: The party abndoned many of us [View All]

[NeedleCast]

I was a fairly moderate Republican for the better part of a decade, now converted to Independat (Libertarian). In essence, the Republican party abandonded the center, and ran as far right as it could. I couldn't stomach it anymore. Turned in my card, walked away...happier for doing it. I think a lot of moderates feel the same...we didn't abandon the party, it abandonded us. This is not my father's Republican Party, it's some wanna-be theological free market. Big biz can abuse the hell out of the common worker (so long as they sell approved merchandise of course).

Long time lurker, first time post.
