Why I Left The GOP
Mike Adams

Posted: Aug 29, 2017 12:01 AM

Over the last fifteen months, I have received numerous requests to speak at GOP events. In response, I have had to write numerous polite notes to my would-be hosts explaining that I must decline, as I am no longer a member of the Republican Party. Rewriting variations of the same note has become so tedious that I have decided to write a column I can forward to Republicans explaining why I can no longer speak at their events. But, first, let me say some positive things about why I joined the party in the first place.

My status as a left wing Democrat began to become a bit shaky in December of 1992. That was when a fraternity brother of mine was abducted and murdered along with his girlfriend who was also sexually assaulted before she was shot at point blank range in the head. Both were unarmed. I immediately abandoned my previous support for a federal ban on handguns.

Yeah Mike!  Some of us are hard headed and it takes a lot longer for the truth to soak in.

I only identify as a conservative. I stopped supporting the GOP when they sent me donation requests made to look like overdue bill notices during the Steele years.

How to lose credibility while posting:
1. Trump is never wrong.
2. Default to the most puerile emoticon you can find. This is especially useful when you can't win an argument on merits.
3. Be falsely ingratiating, completely but politely dismissive without talking to the points, and bring up Hillary whenever the conversation is really about conservatism.
4. When all else fails, remember rule #1 and #2. Emoticons are like the poor man's tweet!

Generally an interesting read.  I tend to agree with him respecting Bush II and Trump.

I got lost when Bush signed Campaign Finance Reform user the guise of "The Supreme Court will kick it out". That was a dumb reason for signing it.
