I stopped giving to the party a long time ago. GWB's second term, I think. That hasn't stopped them from continuing to ask for it. I still give money to specific candidates, including my congressman who is a Boehner supporter, but otherwise can be counted on most of the time. I will probably give Rand Paul some money, and I will probably give Scott Walker some money in the coming months. I have not changed my party registration, and have no intention of doing so.
I agree with Beck in principle, but in reality I can't think of a single third party candidate in my lifetime who I agreed with more than I agreed with the Republican in the race. OK, I take that back. I probably had more in common with Harry Browne than either Bob Dole or George Bush, but I voted for the Republicans anyway. Pragmatism. It's a bitch.
