It’s official, take me off the Republican rolls

Ronald Reagan once said, ” “I didn’t leave the Democratic Party, the party left me.”

I know how you feel President Reagan.  Unfortunately, it’s the party you helped build to a majority that has left me.    Today’s vote sealed the deal.

And quite frankly, we should have learned our lesson from the amnesty you pushed in the 80s.  But we didn’t.

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Senate voted Tuesday to jump-start a stalled immigration measure to legalize millions of unlawful immigrants.

President Bush said the bill offered a “historic opportunity for Congress to act,” and appeared optimistic about its passage by week’s end.

You’re not listening Mr. President.  Neither are the GOP Senators who voted for amnesty.

And yes, Mr. President, it’s amnesty.  Look it up.

Don’t get me wrong.  I’ll still support Republican candidates.

When they earn my support.

You had my support Mr. President.

You lost me at ¡Hola!

Build the fence.  Enforce the laws on the book.

And then get back to me.

    I certainly start to wonder as well why I should support politicians who will sell us out like this. We may need a repeat of 1994, with an influx of fresh new faces for the Republican party, because the current batch of “leaders” do appear to be leaving us.

  2. Ward says:

    I’m all over supporting fresh new faces. And, like I said, I’m not abandoning all the Republican candidates. But the party as a whole has lost my support.

  3. Vivian J. Paige says:

    Republicans leaving the party over immigration, Democrats leaving the party over Iraq funding - what’s next?

  4. Ward says:

    Quite frankly Vivian, I wouldn’t mind if we wiped the slate clean and started all over again.

  5. BLACK VELVET BRUCE LI : Republicans Borrow The Whig Playbook says:

    […] like the detonation of a political bomb.  Here in Virginia, reliable Republican bloggers are deserting the Republican party and heaping scorn on a party apparatus that they have been very strong in […]

  6. Riley, Not O'Reilly says:

    I am a conservative. End of story.

    With Mr. Government-Mandated-Healthcare Gillespie standing in the wings (guess which one) of the White House, I suspect the fun has just begun.

  8. James Atticus Bowden says:

    You can get Conservatives elected to the General Assembly - and the Congress from VA. It starts with good candidates. They are hard to find.

    This past primary season, 2 out of 4 contested State Senate seats in the GOP, is good RINO hunting indeed.
