*Shrug*

No offense intended, but you were always a very poor fit for the GOP anyway.

If Mitt Romney wins the GOP nomination, I will certainly be changing my registration as well.

So when are you going to change the color of your avatar as well?

He shouldn't. His current one is too iconic.

I doubt I will change my registration, but I defiantly won't vote for Romney.  One more election of this abuse though and I might consider it.  After all, I voted for more Dems in 2006 than Republicans.  I probably had the strangest looking ballot in the state.

Be vocal in your support of the Democrat candidate in the Democrat primary.  Your fellow Democrats will fast embrace you.

[Ebowed]

Your fellow Democrats will fast embrace you.

Actually, it sounds as though he is making a grave mistake in supporting the worst candidate running out of either party (other than John McCain, of course).

Which is the whole reason I said his fellow Democrats would fast embrace him.  He needs to get the lingo down soon.

Thank you for explaining your decision to repeat a grammatically inaccurate term. It's not in your nature to make a snide or clever remark.

[HardRCafé]

Sorry, I thought this time would be more obvious.

[Keystone Phil]

So why wasn't the avatar switched?

You know I have great respect for you but changing your registration because someone you don't like won the nomination is silly. You either think you belong in this party or you don't. One primary shouldn't decide.

im not a democrat.

Okay then, go to this...

It wouldn't just be one primary that decides it; it would be the straw that breaks the camel's back.

Then, I'm sorry, but if you really think that's the case, you ought to be gone by now. I'm not saying I want you to leave because I think you're fine as a moderate Republican but primary elections (in other states, no less) shouldn't determine your party registration.

If Romeny or Huckabee win the nomination, I'll be screaming to get Mike Bloomberg to run.

[Joe Biden 2020]

I already changed my registration almost a year and a half ago.  I was a Republican right up until mid-September 2006 and then changed to a Democratic registration.

It was this Iraq war, and my growing opposition to it, that caused me to change parties.

So, it doesn't matter who the Republicans nominate, because I'm not voting for any of them in November.

The Republican I would be most comfortable with would be Mike Huckabee, but even that would be a stretch.  Although, his fiscal liberalism scares even me and I'm pretty far left fiscally myself.  He seems to be about a -9 or -10 on the Matrix scale, where as I'm just at a -5 or -6.

[Reluctant Republican]

I’m a Republican and though I strongly dislike Giuliani and would never vote for him, nor probably Huckabee or Thompson, I think I’ll keep my registration as a Republican. Though I find myself agreeing with Libertarians on more and more issues, the fact is Republicans have far more interesting primary’s  and I like to pretend I make a difference in them with my vote. Besides, I can’t wait to vote against Specter for the first time.

Huckabee has a strange blend of economic views. As governor of Arkansas, he carelessly raised taxes on goods and services hundreds of times. As a candidate for POTUS, Huckabee has proposed an elimination  of all taxes but one -- the sales tax. This "Fair Tax" plan would actually raise taxes on the poor and the middle class, and help the rich, who mainly pay income and capital gains taxes. His views are hardly liberal, but his record is hardly conservative.

Thats why he scares me economically.

[JSojourner]

Much as I wish you'd all come over to the Democratic side, and the left wing of it to boot, I actually prefer two strong parties.  And really, I feel the Republican Party is better off with vocal, intelligent moderates and liberals staying put. 

The GOP may be slowly heading back toward the party of Margaret Chase Smith, Alf Landon, Gerry Ford and Nelson Rockefeller.  I'd welcome that.  And while I wouldn't change my party affiliation, I can guarantee you my ballot would be a lot more mixed than it currently is.
